Petition The PM

[Stanx]

This is one petition I think everyone in motorsport must sign. Please pass
it on if you agree.

"We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to introduce a green paper
proposing ways, that, where complaints have been instigated by resident(s)
against a long standing activity (for example, church bells, sports
facility, local airfield and similar), and where residence has been taken up
since the start of that activity (providing there has been no significant
increase in activity), a presumption should be made to protect the
continuation of that activity and reject such complaint."

The airfield bit is particularly relevant to those of us involved in
rallying and racing doesn't escape either with the problems at Castle Combe,
Brands and Rockingham, where NIMBY's moved in and then complained about the
noise.

Done. Irrespective of the motorsports angle, I think people who complain about church bells and the like after moving to a village should be properly slapped.

Done, Thruxton too is suffering from these NIMBY's thanks to a new housing estate. What do these people expect!

The problem is that no-one pays a blind bit of notice to these petitions. You get a response essentially saying "Nanny knows best" and then you're ignored. You must remember that the defining characteristic of politicians is that they are utterly convinced they know how to run your life better than you do.

I'll sign anyway, but I'm still expecting the "Nanny knows best" response.

Done.
