Spoilsport Scottish Greens get their way in battle to stop Andy Murray tennis centre
The Scottish Greens have scored a rare victory – over British tennis legend Sir Andy Murray’s mum Judy. She had hoped to create a lasting legacy dedicated to her son in the shape of a £20 million tennis centre near Dunblane.
But the plans have been shelved after she was told it was no longer viable in its current form. The news has been welcomed by the Greens, who had opposed the project at Park of Keir in Stirlingshire.
A spokesperson for the Murray Play Foundation charity said the Park of Keir project was no longer viable in its current form. A statement from the charity said “significant increases in construction, material, energy and labour costs, a lengthy and uncertain planning process, and protracted discussions with governing bodies” were among the factors behind the decision.
