Plans to renovate four tennis courts at Scarborough's Filey Road sports centre site have been approved.
The courts will be resurfaced and lighting will be added along with new fencing and parking spaces. Anti-Climb Fence Panels
But local councillor -Rich Maw - thinks the plans don't go far enough.
The plans include upgrading of tennis courts on the southern part of the former Filey Road Sports Centre with minor alterations to the courts, floodlighting of two of them and the provision of off-site parking spaces on nearby road verges. The plan does not encompass the central and northern parts of the Sports Centre where the existing buildings are situated
However, Councillor Rich Maw says the omission of toilet facilities is going to be a problem.
The proposal involves the resurfacing and upgrading of 4 courts to meet Lawn Tennis Association (LTA) standards.
The more northerly two courts would be floodlit and made accessible for disabled tennis players. This involves 6 hooded LED floodlights of 10m height with 3 each on the side boundaries of the surrounding fenced compound. The path from Weaponness Avenue would be upgraded, including steps up to the 2 other and more elevated southerly tennis courts, which would not be floodlit.
The chain link fence surrounding the courts would be replaced by weld-mesh fencing of 3m height. At total of 5 parking spaces would be provided parallel to the road on grassed verges to the south of the site. Three standard spaces would be provided on Weaponness Park close to the point where Weaponness Avenue diverges. The remaining 2 bays for disabled drivers off Weaponness Park would be at the side of the wooded triangle of open land south of the Sports Centre site.
Councillor Maw says it is good news that improvements are being made to what is a historical site for tennis in the town.
The plans to resurface the courts and add the lighting and parking facilities were approved by the area planning committee at a meeting on Thursday.
