RobMcCaffery 2,752 Posted July 20, 2021 Thank you to all who have objected. The 1000+ objections to the previous application have now been cancelled along with that application so we're having to start again. Another 1000 or even higher can only help to disprove the falsehood that Rye House is an abandoned, forgotten speedway track. If you want to object, here's the link: https://publicaccess.eastherts.gov.uk/online-applications/applicationDetails.do?activeTab=makeComment&keyVal=QUE1RFGLN4800 It could be your track next. We still have a chance. We've hired a barrister who has shown a great interest in the case and after filing objections over procedures at the two authorities involved is now taking our complaint to the Local Government Ombudsman. It's hard fight but far from a lost cause. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RobMcCaffery 2,752 Posted July 21, 2021 We're the lead story on page 2 of this week's Speedway Star and the response to sharing our request for people to object to the planning application and to share that request over as many groups as possible is going well. There's a long road to go and a very tough fight but we're getting the backing within speedway that we hoped for. Thanks to all. Rob. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

winstoncigar 23 Posted August 5, 2021 had a very interesting chat this morning with someone who appeared to have a pretty good idea of the events that led up to the closure at Rye House. As I suspected, the root cause of the failure lies with the BSPA 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anything that undermines that isn't helpful. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

eric i 617 Posted August 5, 2021 So far 660 objections and 111 supporting. Last time it finished 1435 objecting and 494 supporting. Am I right in saying there is still a week to get objections in? Maybe the BSPA could put out message/tweet reminding people of the deadline? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
