Disgusting - cricket is an amazing community game which should be being supported to encourage young people to participate in a team game and to keep fit. Tut, tut whoever dreamt up this!

In a time when it is universally recognised that sport has a vital role in communites and physical activity encouraged at all levels and ages, a decision not to allow a cricket club new facilities perversely goes against current thinking

Practice nets are an important part of a cricket club. Well maintained and well kept nets form a big part of the Cricket experience for young and old players.

This is a long standing and historic cricket ground. It makes no sense to try to move the goalposts now.

Please allow Shenfield CC to continue to provide a fantastic service to British sport and the local community by getting youngsters safely into the game of cricket.

We need to keep the nets safe so people can become as good as James & Matt Salisbury

Such small mindedness, especially in the light of all the negative publicity of the shortcomgs of the Olympic legacy, in part due to cuts to local authority hrants

Existing terms and conditions should be adhered to, there should be no moving of the goalposts from the council.

Local councils should be encouraging their residents to exercise not hindering them.

Good luck with this. Hope you get the desired outcome. Boggles the mind that the council could be so narrow minded and come across as extremely petty!

The club is proactive in its development of youth cricket and in the local community. It has produced many County players. For the club to continue its development and grow the new nets would be a great addition

I support this petition. This club helps local children participate in sport outside school, plus provides a good social meeting point.

The council should be embracing young people to participate in such activities, rather than leaving needed equipment to become unsafe and off putting to new members

Please Brentwood Council lift this and allow the renewal of this project Shenfield CC are undertaking. As a manager of an U13 team in Rayleigh I see the joy and well being clubs like Shenfield do especially to the young
