tennis provision
Richmond Council is currently reviewing higher-than-expected income from tennis provision, contributing to a projected Q1 underspend.
Richmond Council's Environment, Sustainability, Culture and Sports Committee received a report in September 2026 detailing a projected £337,000 underspend for the first financial quarter. This underspend was attributed in part to higher-than-expected income within the Sports service, with demand for tennis provision exceeding original expectations, contributing to the overall sports underspend.
The council's Sports service has seen increased income from the provision of tennis facilities, indicating strong public demand. This financial performance is contributing to the council's overall budget position, as detailed in the recent report to the committee.
