Since 2009 West End I have been calling for improvements to the tennis courts at Victoria Park in his ward. I am pleased at long last to see that £88,000 will be spent on these courts to bring them up to an acceptable standard. After my campaign for improvements Dundee City Council's Neighbourhood Services Committee approved investment of £88,000 in Victoria Park Tennis Courts.
I have been calling for improvements to these tennis courts over a number of years. I have been promised that work will take place before and I hope that it will now come to fruition. The state of the tennis courts is totally unacceptable. I am glad that the council has listened to my concerns and those of local people and that now action will finally be taken. I will be watching to ensure that the investment delivers genuine improvements in the tennis courts as I have been promised action previously and none has been forthcoming.
I will continue to look for investment in the West End and to ensure that local people get the best services possible. Our parks are a great asset to the city and we need to look at ways of ensuring that their facilities are kept up to date.
I also hope that Dundee will receive funding from Tennis Scotland to have publicly accessible indoor tennis courts built in the city.
