Some tennis players have been hit by huge price rises at the Nottingham Tennis Centre after the Lawn Tennis Association (LTA) took over the courts from Nottingham City Council on May 1. Some are also said to have had their contracts terminated at the venue on University Boulevard, Beeston after missing a deadline to submit their details to the organisation.
In an email sent to members, the tennis centre said they were increasing prices from £70 per year to £41.50 per month. All payments have been switched to the LTA instead of the council and members were asked to confirm their bank details and pay the new rates.
The email on Tuesday, April 19 asked members to complete the new form by Sunday, April 24 to continue using the venue. However, members are saying that their contracts have since been terminated after they missed the quick deadline.
