Padel club plans for Peddimore

The growing racquet sport of padel could have a new home in Birmingham.

Plans have been revealed to build a padel centre at the Peddimore scheme near Sutton Coldfield.

The Padel Club is eyeing the site as part of its wider expansion plans out of its North West home.

The group first launched in Wilmslow and is backed by high-profile sports people such as ex-England cricketer Michael Vaughan and former Aston Villa players James Milner and Shay Given.

Subject to consent, the new club would have two open-air courts and eight indoor courts, a clubhouse and landscaped social area.

The Padel Club also has a site in Gloucester and other planned venues in Greater Mancheste
