The club is a big part of the community and improved facilities will allow it to grow and continue to give back

Shenfield cricket club is very important to my son and he has had many hours of enjoyment playing cricket, growing in confidence and has made some very good friends over the last 5 years. It's a disgrace that Brentwood Council are blocking the refurbishments of the nets.

I cannot think of any good reason why any council would be adverse to improving sporting facilities for local children, particularly when safety issues are a concern.

Such a shame that this facility for local children can't be renewed. I would like to see the facilities being improved.

I have been involved with Shenfield Cricket Club for over 10 years as a parent, manager and occasional player and during that time I’ve seen the practice nets deteriorate into the sorry state they are in today; unsafe and not fit for purpose. The club fields 5 senior sides and has over 200+ colts and if it’s going to retain these and it’s successful role in the local community it should be allowed to update its facilities without being stifled by Brentwood Borough Council.

New installment of the net facility is desperately needed and would have a massive benefit to the club and community.

A good part of my childhood was spent at SCC and in those nets so the idea of them not being maintained for future colts is very disappointing! Long live the Shen!

Local cricket clubs provide a safe environment for young people to enjoy sport in a structured way. They are a major asset to the Borough and should not be held back.

Providing safe nets is fundamental to enabling the club to offer the opportunity for local youngsters to play cricket. Team sport is really important in promoting exercise, health and a sense of belonging for youngsters. The club currently has over two hundred cadet members and replacing these facilities will enable the club to maintain its successful role in the community.

Is this a piss take? Brentwood council pull your finger out. Provide youngsters with the opportunity to be a part of a sporting club and reap the rewards in the long run. Embarrassing to think that a club that offers so much for the local area gets such little support. Dave's Big. Kenneth
