The council said members will be able to use the facility by booking slots and paying a “small fee”, which will help maintain the courts. Locals will also be able to play for free during sessions run by the LTA. Haq said: “Parts of Oadby were recently found to be the least active area in Leicestershire, so I hope that this will help to change that and give people a chance to get moving and improve their physical and mental health.”I really encourage our residents to come along and give it a try, and to take advantage of these fantastic new courts. “Whether you’re a regular player or trying tennis for the first time, these new courts are here for the whole community to enjoy.”Scott Lloyd, LTA chief executive, added: “Park tennis courts are vital for providing people with opportunities to pick up a racket, and we want as many people as possible, of all ages, abilities and backgrounds, to enjoy playing tennis and being active.”
