How can the council consider this acceptable? Preventing children from participating in a safe environment for Sport, madness!!

A wonderful local cricket club being hampered by Brentwood Council. Clubs like SCC deserve help not hindrance!

Brentwood Council, please lift the Shenfield Cricket Nets Embargo. Is profit and car parking more important than kids playing sport and a sense of community spirit?

Shenfield Cricket Club is a thriving community asset. Apart from the five senior teams there is a strong, well-led colts section. As a parent of two boys who joined this club as youngsters, not only has their love of cricket developed they have also had a strong social network through belonging to a community and having somewhere to socialise when navigating through their teenage years. It cannot be emphasised enough how important it is for young people to have places to go and to belong to during this phase of their life. There is a strong bond between members of this club across all age ranges. I have often witnessed some of the younger players in the senior side talking with older, retired, players who still enjoy coming to watch, talk about cricket, have a drink and share in the 'cricket tea'. This is very much within the spirit of the original gift of the land: it is being used for the purpose for which it was intended. I fail to understand how and why the Council want to destroy this facility, which is what their demands would lead to. One of my sons now plays cricket professionally for Essex County Cricket Club and I have no doubt in my mind that the Club has played an important part in his development towards that happening. I strongly believe that the Council should not be blocking the development of the new nets OR demanding the club to make changes to the original arrangements left in place by the Courage family. Shenfield Cricket Club should continue to exist as it has done, and should be allowed to provide training facilities which are equivalent to those of other local clubs so that young people and adults who want to play there can continue to do so.

B.D.C. should be encouraging Shenfield C.C. all they can They do a superb job in the area fulfilling childrens dreams and aspirations. I just wish when I was young I could have joined a superb club such as Shenfield C.C.
Get up to date Brentwood Council it was not so long ago that Brentwood C.C. refurbished their nets so whats the difference for which Brentwood Council gave permission

The embargo is a nonsense having had three sons go through Shenfield cricket club I can't emphasise enough the importance of belonging to a club with such high standards of care tuition and up to date equipment which Shenfield cc stands for

After working with local residents to overcome their objections to change in the net provision, the Club finally secured planning permission to improve the net facility at the Club. This continued obstruction by BDC, designed to bring the Club to heel over other issues relating to the Club and its history, is preventing young people benefiting from an improved facility, one that supports not only the local community but also students in local state schools, which don't have the facilities that most of their competitors in the independent sector have. Those students are achieving magnificent regional and national level success, success which is threatened by the Club's inability to improve what it can offer. Lift the embargo!
