King's Lynn and West Norfolk Borough Council seeks £1.2m for Lynsport sports hub expansion
The council is recommending an expanded capital scheme for covered tennis/paddle courts and a multi-use games area at Lynsport, taking the ask to £1.2 million. The report says external funding from the LTA is part of the case, with a self-funding model and estimated payback of around eight years and eight months.

Verified against the transcript — budget approved
This is a verified signal produced by QuorumInsight from a public council meeting. It is not an official procurement or tender notice, is not published or endorsed by the council, and no notice has necessarily been issued on Find a Tender or Contracts Finder. Value, route to market and timing are estimates inferred from what was said and may change. Always verify directly with the authority before acting.
So the total project, to be clear, is £1,200,000 capital funding that we're asking for.
Also said in the meeting
“"This allows the council to secure that external funding."”
