This great cricket club has been in existence for almost one hundred years. I was a player there and had the honour of captaining the club for some of them. They have a close association with Shenfield High School and welcome the boys and girls to play cricket there. They have achieved much which has brought credit to the district. Please rescind your embargo.

Please keep the kids happy.. It helps keep them off the streets and being constructive instead of destructive

as a young player at SCC, I absolutely vouch for the need for new nets. BBC, why won't you do the right thing?

The existing nets are old and unsafe. SCC needs and deserves these new nets. Please Council, change your stance.

This is so silly - haven't the Council got better things to do than stopping new nets for all our local young cricketers!

Long overdue, existing nets are a slip/trip hazard and are woefully in adequate for kids wanting to take cricket seriously. John sample

This is a key need for a great local facility that is at the heart of our community. C'mon Council, do the right thing and allow the new nets!

This does seem a perverse decision; I don't understand why it would be rejected (could it be something to do with the new Shenfield country park that has been floated, if so, still no reason to block the nets)

A good club doing good work and 100s of children in our community have benefitted from their time at SCC. This is priceless. Let it continue and prosper. Lift the embargo.

It's disgraceful that 230+ youngsters age 7-19, as well as adult players, are being deprived of adequate, safe facilities.

I think that this is an absolute joke that they will not allow the upgrade of these nets so that the current and next generation of young players can benefit from the sport. I coached youth teams there for a few years and can see what it would give the current team and colts teams if they were allowed to be upgraded.
