Not sure if this should be posted elsewhere on the forum to get a wider audience, so please spread the message on other forums, Facebook etc.

It has been announced that Brighton and Hove Council are trying to prevent the speed trials continuing. As you're all local(ish) then please take the time to register and sign the petition on the link below - it takes a couple of minutes. The trials have been taking place since 1905.....

Remember this is a locally run event by enthusiasts for enthusiasts, much like many of our own runs/clubs/meets etc. so here's you chance to have an input.

It was just on BBC local news.. Sounds like the council are too tight-arsed to repave the road with better tarmac.

Done. I was the 11368th signature. Good to see this is getting support.

I'm pretty gobsmacked at how little interest there has been from the PH forum on this.

An iconic motorsport event that runs back over 100 years and is now under threat by a load of eco green loons that sadly run Brighton Council and it gets hardly any interest on here.

It's just been announced that it's to run after being convinced by public opinion.
