A project to deliver an outside table tennis table outside Morley Sports Centre has commenced with the initial construction work being undertaken last week. The proposal, a joint project between Morley Town Council and Leeds City Council, will provide a robust table, bats and balls for table tennis to be played outdoors.
Cllr Judith Elliott says “We have previously supported a temporary outside table last year which was very popular amongst young and not so young residents who enjoyed playing table tennis out of doors. We decided to look for a partnership deal with Leeds City Council to deliver a permanent provision.”
The outside tennis table will be similar to ones provided by the National Trust and other organisations which allow people to play table tennis at any time without a cost. Morley Town Council are jointly financing the £2000 cost with Leeds City Council
Cllr Judith Elliott added “We are always looking at new ways to encourage all residents, young and old, to become more active and to keep fit. This proposal will mean the sport become more accessible for everyone as residents will be able to play for free.”
