I feel the council , are bullying a small cricket club. A club that provides an important service to the local community . Maybe they intent a land grab , to build houses on a lovely green area.

The Shenfield.Cricket Club provide wonderful facilities for adults and children from 6years upwards. The opportunity to play cricket in teams forges friendships, keeps them fit and helps them to develop into responsible adults. It is vital to have safe facilities in which to practise. It is the responsibility of the Council to allow this refurbishment. The Courage Family, I am sure, would want this refurbishment to take place.

Shenfield CC is a long and well established cricket club, providing fine facilities for all ages from many youngsters to ageing adults...just what every community seeks. Facilities for practice and coaching need to be maintained and replaced from time to time, and especially to provide necessary safety measures. Officialdom, whether Council Officers or Councillors need to reverse their decision, made for whatever reason; the practicalities of the existing club and its situation should be recognised and supported.

This feels a no brainer. The nets have seen better days. The council should see common sense and allow the nets to be upgraded.

Shenfield cricket club is a friendly community club at the heart of Shenfield. It needs to replace its practice nets so our young people can play cricket safely & get a chance to shine.
Brentwood Council should be supporting this improvement not fighting it. It makes no sense counsellors need to engage, play fair, & get behind this much needed improvement.

Brentwood council should hang their heads in shame over the bullying and intimidatory tactics employed when permission has been granted to bring our practise nets up to ECB guideline standards. Allow our 230 youngsters the dignity of having safe fit for purpose training facilities. This would also be in keeping with the councils own "Active Essex" and " Health and Wellbeing" initiatives on their website. Just a simple case of Practise what you Preach!

Since a very young age, I've been playing cricket at Shenfield Cricket Club. I enjoy playing cricket and using the nets in order to become a better player. Now I believe the nets are worn out and need replacing quickly. If this request is not achieved by the council then many young players like me will lose interest in the game. Shenfield Cricket Clubs' facilities must be maintained so it can continue to be a vital part of our community. - Toby Barnes aged: 15

An absurd decision by Brentwood Borough Council in the wake of the Olympic legacy of the value of sport for all.

Both our boys have enjoyed years of enjoyment at Shenfield CC, and at 18 & 21 are still involved. Madness that other youngsters & families are being denied the same!!

Please lift his embargo. SCC needs to enhance its facilities to keep attracting members to our club which is an extremely valuable part of the Shenfield community.

The Shenfield CC have been hugely supportive of school cricket over the years allowing Shenfield HS to use its facilities to provide life long memories that inspire future participation for our students. The net facilities though are poor and are desperate for replacement. Please reconsider for the good of hundreds of children that benefit from the good work of the club.

Does the council not recognise the fact that Kids in Sport (s) stay out of Court. Think about it counsellors, if you had the opportunity to enjoy sport and what it meant to you and if you did not have the chance to play sport how did you fill your idle time.
Spot is so important in growing up and setting a good base for the future.

Shenfield Cricket Club is a thriving club that is an integral part of our local community. The club provides an outstanding opportunity for our children, through to young adults to participate in cricket. Our training nets are in desperate need of replacement. They are dangerous and not fit for purpose. Brentwood Borough Council must lift this ridiculous embargo and support this hugely popular club in their quest to update their facilities. Shenfield Cricket Club is well respected by local schools, both primary and secondary, and forms an important part of our community.
