Reducing sporting opportunities for youngsters cannot be sensible or logical!

The Club gives young people the great opportunity of learning, plus keeping them fit. Also, it helps integrate them into adult life with mixed aged teams. Brentwood Council's current decision is simply wrong.

Absolute nonsense if we cannot encourage our youngsters to play sport.

This is a critical and genuine petition fueled by the desire to train youngsters in the community to become tomorrow's cricketers. Brentwood Council hang your head in shame!

I cannot fathom why the council are objecting to refurbishing something that is already there? Shenfield CC provides a wonderful environment for youngsters to enjoy sport and feel part of the local community.

The planners have not been pragmatic,,& have unnecessarily put obstacles in the way from day 1...there seems to be a hidden agenda from certain members of the department.

I've been a member at SCC for nearly 20 years and as the current secretary and a player I can say that this project is absolutely vital for the club to keep running and providing the vital service of youth development for the local area

My two sons have benefited from using this facility for a number of years now, Its the only facility in the area that allows community access (others are locked and you have to be members of the club). The Council are being heavy handed with the club preventing it from refurbishing these nets, the Council should be supporting the club as they offer a valuable service to the local community.

For the club to work so hard to be in a position to update this most important facility only to be blocked at the final hurdle is a farce. Lift the embargo and let people have the facilities they have worked hard for.

Ridiculous to think the council object to making facilities for young people safer. If the current state of the nets was on a public path, they'd have the path closed and repaired as it isn't fit for walking on. And they expect 7 year olds to play cricket on it..
Has one of them been up there on a Friday evening and seen the 200+ colts playing cricket? Very unlikely.

As a former Shenfield player and 1st XI captain, I have been greatly impressed by the progress the club has made since my time there in the 1960s. This speaks volumes for the dedication and community spirit of players, officials and supporters. They deserve encouragement from Council rather than this petty obstruction. With an Ashes series about to get underway, I can imagine how much fun the Australian media could have with this story!
