Murieston Tennis and Sports Club (MTSC) have been granted a 25 year community benefit lease for a site in Murieston Valley. The newly-formed charity are aiming to create a community tennis and sports hub at the council-owned site, next to Livingston Cricket Club.
The lease will allow them to try and secure funding to deliver the ambitious project to deliver three full-size floodlit outdoor tennis courts and a multi-use sports court for basketball, netball and five-a-side football.
The project is expected to cost £270,000 and MTSC have already been awarded £100,000 from sportscotland.
Head of Finance and Property Services Donald Forrest said: "We are pleased to support Murieston Tennis and Sports Club's plans for a new sports facility.
"The long-term community benefit lease will allow the club to take forward their plans to deliver improved facilities for sports in the south of Livingston."
