Lift the Nets Embargo - Now!


Shenfield CC has launched an online petition to ask our MP Sir Eric Pickles & local Councillors to support parents and members of Shenfield Cricket Club in demanding that Brentwood Borough Council lift its embargo on the Club renewing its practice nets. The Council should not prevent young players from having safe and up to date facilities in this way.
Please sign this petition - it's free and will take just a few seconds of your time.


Please also read this document from Club Chairman, Paul Carter,
which gives some detail on the history of this issue, as well as simple instructions for signing the online petition.

This document provides more background notes on the club's recent relationship with Brentwood Council.

This is the press release sent to the Brentwood Gazette on 7th July.

If you would like to see what the Council Committee was told about the nets and what local Councillors said you can watch the webcast on the Council site here.
Fast forward to 1:48:42 to take you direct to the start of the relevant discussion.
You will see that there was no explanation of the Club's history with the Courage family and no interest in allowing the nets to go ahead in the meantime.
