Signed it!
This sort of thing really winds me up. Too may NIMBY's out there. Presumably when they moved there they were well aware the circuit existed?
Good Luck.

There is an airfield where I did flying training called Dunkeswell. It's been there since 1940. They built a housing estate close to it, and as people were moving in, they were signing petitions to close the place down!

I know exactly where you mean (I am an Exeter lad!) The new drag racing day that they are doing at Smeathorpe (just next to Dunkeswell) is going down a treat as well!

There seems to be no appreciation that if there is a proper place to have a little fun with cars, the pressure of playing on the roads is removed!

Is this a new petition? There was a similar one for castle Combe a couple of years ago? Looks like the locals are raising the issue on a regular basis!

Signed.

I frequent Elvington which is under the same sort of pressure. Trouble at Elvington comes from just a few residents which happen to include a Judge and a Councillor who live locally. Too much abuse of power in this country. NIMBY NIMBY NIMBY (and we've only just moved in and hadn't done our homework - TOUGH!!!).
