BRITANNIA PAINTS SUPPORTS LTA FRAMEWORK
Britannia Paints has supported the LTA Parks Tennis Project by supplying Decatone SR60 Tennis Court Paint to Francis Coatings in the North West.
The project is part of a nationwide investment by the UK Government and LTA Tennis Foundation, delivered by the LTA, to refurbish public tennis courts and open the sport to many more people.
This £30million UK Government and LTA Tennis Foundation investment will bring thousands of existing park tennis courts in poor or unplayable condition back to life for the benefit of communities across the country.
This is so important because park tennis courts are vital for providing opportunities for people of all ages and abilities to pick up a racket, get active, and enjoy playing tennis.
Public tennis courts are key to tennis’ long-term future as they are often where many people first play the game and are venues that have higher participation rates amongst women and girls and disadvantaged communities.
The works commenced January 2023 and consist of the refurbishment of local authority park tennis courts, including court resurfacing, painting and fencing.
At the end of 2023, LTA annouced that over 1,500 courts had been refurbised and were on track to complete the project by the end of summer 2024.
The project required custom colours specified by the LTA for the courts. Light Blue (RAL 5015) was specified for the outer courts and Grass Green (RAL 6017) for the inner court.
