Council call for tennis facility

Jun 28 2009

As much of Scotland looks to the courts of Wimbledon, one politician has called on the government to look at the country's tennis facilities.

Labour MSP Frank McAveety called on the Scottish Government to be "more serious about sport" after a survey of local authorities revealed a third of Scottish councils have no tennis facilities.

The study, carried out by the MSP and his staff, showed that 10 Scottish Councils, or 31.25% of Councils, have no tennis facilities at all.
