Representation Summary:

Object to SP14: BA1 on the grounds of:
- insufficient sports facilities
- Baldock Town have to play at Stotfold
- need to promote a healthy sporting environment for whole community
- sports facilities would create jobs and revenue for Baldock

Full text:

Baldock Town does not have enough sports facilities for its present population let alone when the town grows. It is a travesty that Baldock Town have to pay and play in Stotfold when they should be playing in Baldock. Baldock needs the facilities so that Baldock Town FC and Baldock Youth are not being stifled by not having pitches to play on. This would unite the club as one and also provide opportunities to have ladies and girls teams and promote a healthy sporting environment for the whole community. This would also result in jobs being created within Baldock for the people of Baldock and the revenue staying within the Town.
Bring Sport for all ages back to BALDOCK NOW.
