An ace new sporting facility offering three tennis courts and a multi-use games area has opened in Livingston. Registered charity Murieston Tennis and Sports Club (MTSC) held their official opening ceremony recently.

MTSC is the result of four years of hard work by a small group of dedicated community volunteers to deliver facilities for healthy activities for all ages and backgrounds and provides opportunities for a range of sports such as tennis, basketball, netball, pickleball and football using their floodlit pitches.

Members of the not-for-profit MTSC raised the £350,000 required to deliver the project though a crowdfunder campaign and local donations, as well as £160,000 from West Lothian Council through Place Based Investment programme, and support from sportscotland, West Lothian Development Trust and the Benzies Foundation.

A special event was held to mark the opening by West Lothian’s Lord Lieutenant Moira Niven, along with the local community and invited guests.
