Decision details

Wellow currently has poor provision for physical activity.  This is an opportunity to apply for grant funding to improve their local facilities.

The Cabinet Members agreed to approve a contribution of £15,000 towards the cost of providing two floodlit tennis courts and a netball court to be provided in Wellow by Wellow Sports.

The application is specifically for funding to support the installation of 2 tennis courts and a netball court.  The approved funding will contribute £15,000 of the required £126,000 to deliver this part of the development.

The facilities will encourage sports participation and develop skills through a mixture of play-in-the-park recreational fun, coaching and competitive tournaments.

The group have secured funding from, amongst others, Sport England, the Lawn Tennis Association, Medlock Trust, Awards for All. Funding is being sought to help towards the capital cost of creating the sports enhancements – in this case - two floodlit tennis courts plus a netball court.
