Whitley Bay Cricket Club are seeking approval to fence off the field next to Whitley Bay Ice Rink.

The plan is to only leave 3 metres around the bottom of the banks.

This field is used on a daily basis by the public.

It’s an extremely popular sledging spot in the winter and many sporting clubs, aside the cricket club, use this field for training several times per week.

Please help us fight and keep this field open to the public.
