Local Plan 2011-2031 Proposed Submission Draft

Having lived in Baldock for 25 years I have seen the number of houses in the town grow significantly, however, the sporting and social facilities have not increased with the demand. Now with a young family, most of my children's sporting activities are outside Baldock, which is fine if Baldock was a small village, but with a population of 10,000 there should be more in the town. We have also seen in recent years neighbouring towns pull well ahead of Baldock in developing sport facilities, particularly around football. Surely its about time the town put itself on the map and built new sporting facilities for is residents.
