Judy Murray Cancels £20 Million Tennis Centre Plans

Judy Murray has officially abandoned plans for a £20 million tennis and sports centre near Dunblane, despite securing £10 million in funding. The project faced significant local opposition due to concerns that it would lead to luxury housing on green belt land, as well as rising construction costs and lengthy planning processes. After over a decade of effort, the Murray Play Foundation cited a lack of viable options and public funding challenges as key reasons for the project's cancellation. Local politicians praised the decision as a victory for community concerns about preserving green spaces. The foundation plans to explore other initiatives to promote sport and fitness in the community following the project's end. Judy Murray expressed deep regret over losing the opportunity to create a lasting legacy for her sons, Andy and Jamie Murray.
