NIMBYs again at Mallory Park

Another Midlands circuit under discussion about noise with residents and the local council.

I would be happy to exchange houses with any disillusioned Kirkby Mallory residents.

Spoke to someone who knows a few people who live in Kirkby Mallory, and it seems that the main complaint is that the Circuit is taking it’s use right up to the limits of the planning permissions. (not quite taking the p**s)

Not just Motorsport I believe but other events there have not helped.

Seems in the past the previous owners/leaseholders were more than accommodating with the locals in terms of use, but the current people seem hell bent on screwing every last drop out of it’s use.

(Adding to the above, it seems the locals wanted to keep this below the radar in case it affected property prices and hoped to sort things out with the circuit management, but it now seems to be a bit more public, so expect some big guns to start taking an interest
)

I would expect to maximise the money they earn they would have to use all the days and find a legitimate use for the days that Motorsport cannot use the track. It's not taking the piss but making sure that it's there in the future. Taking the piss are the residents who move in and campaign to get higher house prices, sorry eh? less noise?

The current lease holders are the BARC - the same people that got stuffed at Croft. No idea what the lease fees are but they have to make it pay enough to keep it going, maintain it it, improve it etc

Whilst i get really pissed with Nimbys on this occasion it seems that some of the events go on into the night i'm pretty sure i'd get fed up with music etc if they kept roaring round the circuit late into the evening......something Castle Combe never did and still got their arse kicked and that one 'noisy' weekend a year!
