Lewis Partnership help tennis club serve up new facilities


Award-winning South Wales architects the Lewis Partnership Ltd are helping Llanelli Tennis and Squash Club serve up new facilities.
The club has applied for a £300,000 grant to upgrade its clubhouse and facilities.
Club chairman Mark Westcott hopes planning permission and grant money for the project will be in place by November.
Work could then start by February or March.
Mr Westcott said: “It is still difficult to put a definitive timescale on it. We are still in the early stages.”
Based at world famous Stradey Park, the volunteer-run club runs tennis coaching programmes and mini, junior and adult teams.
Lewis Partnership managing director Philip Lewis said: “The project is still in its early stages but we have been involved in a very successful consultation event at the club.
“The Andy Murray victory in the USA Open and in the Olympics means there is a surge of interest in tennis. Hopefully, the Llanelli Tennis and Squash Club can build upon that new enthusiasm for the sport. We are delighted, as a Llanelli-based firm, to be helping the club put the project together.”
The project is set to include a ‘Pro Shop’, disabled facilities, changing rooms, showers and a kitchen refurbishment.
