Building Cricket ground in Holbrooks park

We the undersigned petition the Council to consider developing cricket facilities at Holbrooks Park for the benefit of local residents, particularly young people and community sports groups. I kindly ask the Council to: Assess community demand for cricket facilities in Holbrooks Explore the feasibility of introducing cricket nets or pitches at Holbrooks Park Consider funding opportunities through Sport England, ECB grants, or community partnerships I believe this investment would bring lasting value to Holbrooks and strengthen local sports provision for current and future generations. Thank you for your time and consideration. I would greatly appreciate this proposal being reviewed and discussed as part of local parks and sports development planning.

Holbrooks is a growing and diverse area with strong potential for greater access to inclusive sporting opportunities. Adding cricket facilities—such as practice nets, a grass wicket, or a shared-use cricket pitch—would help support youth development, encourage healthy lifestyles, promote community engagement, and provide more recreational opportunities for families.

Cricket is an important sport for many local communities, and improved facilities in Holbrooks would:

Encourage young people to participate in structured physical activity

Support schools and local clubs

Promote social inclusion and community cohesion

Provide positive alternatives that benefit public health and wellbeing
