Padel Courts Planned for Telford

Plans have been submitted to introduce covered outdoor padel courts to Telford Tennis Centre. We Do Tennis, in partnership with Telford and Wrekin Council, has put forward the application. If approved, the facility will feature two new covered doubles courts and one uncovered singles court. The development also includes essential amenities such as retail space, a viewing area, changing rooms, and a cafe, alongside improvements to existing outdoor spaces. This project is highlighted as a significant step in expanding sports offerings within the borough and boosting participation. Councillor Angela McClements stated that the new facilities represent growing momentum in enhancing the Telford Tennis Centre's offerings and providing residents with more avenues for physical activity. She emphasized that, pending planning approval, these amenities will offer an exciting sporting experience and reinforce the successful collaboration between the Council and We Do Tennis. Nigel Hunter, Co-Director of We Do Tennis, expressed enthusiasm for bringing the rapidly growing sport of padel to Telford, noting its vibrant and social nature. He believes the new courts will provide an accessible and engaging environment for people of all ages and abilities to try a new sport and enjoy a positive atmosphere.
