I received this email from Demon Tweeks- 'Mallory Park Race circuit is under imminent threat of closure due to proposed noise restrictions from their local council. Motorsport and Motorcycle enthusiasts need to unite to prevent this from happening all over the country. Please take a moment to consider the heritage of British motorsport, in both two and four wheel formats, where it's been and where it's going, if we don't we could easily lose more. An e-petition has been set up which requires 100,000 signatures to trigger a government debate and preserve what is still a fantastic circuit for racers and spectators alike. Make your voice heard by signing this petition. ' epetitions.direct.gov.uk/petitions/46739

I thought this was a bit of Chinese whispers and the residents actually wanted Mallory Park, but i have signed anyway.

I think its more likely to be a local councillor trying to make a fast buck by selling the land to a housing developer rather than the residents complaining I'm told many of the small local businesses rely on the passing trade generated by the track. Might be a few nimbys that have moved to the area and then decided that they would prefer it if the track wasnt there

so the track opened in the 1940s, and since then a further 800 residents have deliberately and knowingly moved to kirkby mallory just 500 meters away from an active motorsport venue
and now theres a noise isssue ?
why are some humans just so retarded ?

From what I've read (from the current operators of Mallory Park), they're not being threatened with closure as such, just having noise restrictions that would make the business unviable. A petition to stop the closure is aiming at the wrong thing, they aren't being closed down. I signed anyway though
