I have walked this field from time to time and it would be an unnecessary loss of public amenity - cricket can still be p[layed in a field without a fence.

Open spaces offering physical safety and helping people’s well-being are systematically being stolen from the public . The council have a duty of care to serve the council tax paying population particular in terms of children playing safely and people’s well-being versus a cricket club .

That is such a selfish idea. The field is used every day by families like ours who live in streets around it. I’ve never seen it damaged or misused.

Council owned lands are not ransom strips to be bargained with at the expense of the community

Planning permission is not given for a development of existing open spaces that local communities need. Green space should be should be accessible to all

I used this field growing up as did many others of my generation so why should future generations be deprived of it.

This field is a valuable green space used by many, adults and children. Removing access to it would be a great blow to locals, restrict green spaces which keep our children safe and a tall metal fence would be a complete eyesore. The cricket club have managed for decades without a fence, there is no need for one now!

The field is part and parcel of the town, a popular spot for many, not just cricket. Perhaps the club should invest in better parking instead

My understanding is that this is a Council-owned public space - it shouldn’t be fenced off for the use of one particular group.
