Objection to Baldock on the grounds of:
- support for a new multi purpose sports facility in the town, which could provide a base for Baldock Town FC and other sporting clubs

Full text:

I am writing this email in support of a new multi purpose sports facility for proposed new and existing residents of Baldock.

I feel that this facility is hugely needed in the town. Not only would this be a strong base for Baldock town FC to grow and bring through youth development without losing them to neighbouring towns, but build a stronger future to allow BTFC to stay in existence. For a number of years now the club has had to move around the county playing at different grounds just to survive. This is becoming increasingly difficult and costly for both parties agreeing terms.

This facility will not only be good for BTFC but other sporting clubs to develop and grow within its own town, without having to travel to towns outside of Baldock. This would also bring the football club back to the town after a long absence.
