Save the Brighton speed trials
Discussion
Brighton and Hove City Council are set to meet on 23rd January 2014 to decide on whether the famous Brighton Speed Trials should be cancelled.
Why? Well, some of it has to be general health and safety concerns/hysteria. But it's also connected to Charlotte Tagg who was killed in September 2012 whilst racing at Brighton as passenger on a Honda outfit. As a direct result of that incident, the 2013 Trials was cancelled.
Brighton and Hove Motor Club are the organisers. The ePetition was launched by committee member Ruth Reynolds and began on 19th December 2013. But Tony Johnstone is perhaps the man to talk to, if you need to talk.
However, if you just want to lend your support to an event that's been running at full tilt on Madeira Drive since 1905, you know exactly what you have to do.

Please DO help if you can. Note that it isn't just this event that's at threat. Cancelling Brighton simply adds fuel to the safety fascists's bonfire, and that puts a lot of other public motorcycle events at risk. So let's try and put this fire out before it spreads.
Meanwhile, you might be interested to hear the Brighton and Hove City Council, run by the Green Party with the Tories trailing, was recently permanently banned from accessing the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency database for chronic misuse. This, therefore, sounds like another UK council that likes to play dirty. Keep that in mind, if you will.
