May not seem to be motoring related but this could include former airfields which include track days.

This will take only a minute of your time.....

Some of you may recall that earlier this year there was alarm amongst aviators, over the Office of the Deputy Prime Ministers proposals to classify airfields as brownfield sites for the purposes of planning approval. If carried through, this would mean that any scheme to develop a GA airfield for housing or industrial purposes could be passed with very little regard to its amenity value. As a result of the earlier outcry by the GA community, the inclusion of airfields in the list was said to be a mistake, and it was promised that the clause would be withdrawn in the final version. Youve guessed it, the final version has been released and its still there.

The reaction to the previous move was clearly effective, but everyone with an interest in aviation needs to act now. You can make your voice heard by electronically signing the following petition:

http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/Airfields/

Its easy to do and will take no more than 2 minutes of your time. If you havent already, do it now and help to save UK airfields from this threat and John Prescott

It's only because he's too fat to take off in one.
He doesn't need them, so he might as well try and abolish them.
Typical politician....
