A project which looks to improve safety/cricket facilities within our local sporting community - should surely gain unilateral support. Delays reflect badly - both on our former/current council members. - JUST DO IT!

Councils are always saying we need more out of school activities for young people and then they make life difficult by trying to inpose rules which prevent willing adults from providing such activities Come on Councils show some initiative towards helping to provide a safe environment for 11 to 16 year olds.

The current nets are not good enough to practice in or safe enough for 200 plus youngsters to use on a weekly basis. The local council should be encouraging young people to partake in physical activity and take up games such as cricket, not taking that opportunity away.

This makes no sense...this is much better for the community, it encourages sport and makes it safer for the teams. We need new nets ASAP!!

I thought we were supposed to be encouraging sport for youngsters, not putting up barriers, do the right thing

I fully support this petition - the cricket nets are central to the club's "on-field" success and continued growth of local cricketing talent.

As the first organiser of the colts 30years ago I have seen the section grow to what it is now, it is essential for the groups safety that the nets are safe to use.

I've been a member of Shenfield CC since I was 5 years old and use the nets very regularly. They are in a terrible state and need to be updated ASAP. There are well over 200+ kids benefiting from this cricket club, as well as a large number of adults. They should have access to safe and up to date facilites.

I would have thought this would be a very simple and normal thing to do by the Council

Yet more jobs worths at the council not understanding how they are hindering the development of youth and potentially destroying a club that's added such delight to the community for nearly 100 years
