Councillors serve up improvements to community squash courts
Two ward councillors have stepped in to breathe new life into Sudbury’s only squash courts by funding some essential repairs.
At Ormiston Sudbury Academy, the squash courts have undergone a much-needed refurbishment to the floor and markings, making the courts fit for use once more.
Local ward councillors for Sudbury North West, Jessie Carter and Tim Regester, both used £500 of their respective locality funding to ensure the renovation was completed and now, with the work concluded, the courts are back to their best for the local community to use.
It is hoped that this investment will help keep the local community active, support mental and physical wellbeing, and meet the demand for the space.
Cllr Jessie Carter said:
“This work will promote social interaction and the growth of the local economy, ensuring that our community has safe access to recreational facilities.”
Cllr Tim Regester said:
“Investing in sports, like squash, is so important and gives people the resources they need to stay fit and healthy, leading active lifestyles.”
Nick Bowen, Managing Director at Edu-Lettings, said:
“We very much welcome the investment from Babergh to support the facilities and the health and social wellbeing of the community.”
