Default Help save Castle Combe Circuit!

I did a search and couldn't find this posted already, so...

........as some of you may already be aware, North Wiltshire District Council have served a Noise Nuisance Order on Castle Combe Circuit.

this is very bad news as far as I am concerned

you can read Castle Combe Circuit's comments on the Noise Nuisance Order by clicking here

as pointed out in the link above, it is possible that at a debate the Council members could instruct their officers to withdraw this Noise Nuisance Order - to this effect motorsport fans throughout the UK are supporting the circuit in droves by petitioning the councillers to do just this.

you can help by signing the online petition here

or by sending a personal message to the North Wiltshire Councillers here:

I also use this circuit regularly and would be very disappointed to see it go. Will sign myself and distribute to friends who are motorsport fans if that is ok?

That's because you spelled Combe wrong.

The village is picture postcard perfect but the track should be able to do what it wants.

Anyone been to Lucknam Park. Great hotel. Pure luxury.

This is my favourite circuit in the UK and it's been obvious the last couple of years that the noise regs are killing them. There is nowhere else that retains such a great club circuit atmosphere.

I'll be there on Saturday!
