Murray Family Abandons Dunblane Tennis Centre Project
Rising costs and local resistance end 12-year effort to establish sports facility honoring Andy and Jamie Murray's legacy.
- The proposed centre faced opposition due to its location on green belt land and proximity to existing facilities.
- Judy Murray dedicated over a decade to the project, which included plans for tennis courts, a golf academy, and a hotel.
- The Lawn Tennis Association had pledged £5 million, but funding issues and planning delays hindered progress.
- Local campaigners argued that the area already had sufficient sports facilities, questioning the project's necessity.
- The Murray Play Foundation will now seek alternative ways to honor the sporting achievements of the Murray brothers.
