Nottingham Tennis centre to be revamped
by Tom Walker | 18 Apr 2008
The Nottingham Tennis Centre is set to undergo a £735,000 refurbishment scheme as part of the Nottingham City Council’s Leisure Centre Transformation Programme.
The council has launched a public consultation on the proposals, which would include replacing the ground floor catering with a new air cooled fitness suite with multi activity and spinning studios and re-locating the ground floor catering to the first floor.
Councillor David Trimble said: "The proposals are part of the City Council’s transformation programme to provide 21st century leisure facilities across Nottingham.
“We hope that the improvements will mean the centre is better able to meet the diverse needs of our customers and that even more people will make use of the centre and benefit from the improved facilities on offer."
According to the council, it will go ahead with the proposals despite the Lawn Tennis Association’s recent decision to withdraw the Men’s ATP tour event from Nottingham in 2009.
Development works are due to start at the end of June and are scheduled to reach completion in late Autumn 2008.
