Scottish Green MSP Mark Ruskell, who gave evidence at a public inquiry involving the project in 2016, has welcomed the announcement and said the plan was 'never going to end well'.
A controversial project led by Sir Andy Murray's mother Judy to build a £20m tennis centre near Dunblane has been shelved. A spokesperson for Ms Murray's charity, the Murray Play Foundation, said the Park of Keir project was no longer viable in its current form.
'The Murray family is proud of what they have contributed to tennis in the UK and remain committed to growing the game and persuading governments, sports governing bodies and others of the significant health, social and economic benefits that flow from sustained investment in sport and physical activity.' The spokesperson said the centre would have given the next generation 'greater opportunity to access courts, competition and coaching'.
