SPEEDY69 Posted June 3 Report Share Posted June 3 All sounds positive. I admit though I'd never heard of "reinforced grass" before - that will be time consuming, inserting the steel wire into each blade (I assume that's what it is 🙂) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toady Posted July 13 Report Share Posted July 13 (edited) In anticipation of the planning application, local residents have contacted their parish council, expressing their opposition to any proposed plans due potential noise and traffic concerns. The site is situated adjacent to the main London to Bristol rail line and in close proximity to junction 17 of the M4. The sole residential accommodation in the vicinity is the local traveller site, with the nearest housing development being a couple miles away.You couldn’t make it up! This is the just of the article Residents on the outskirts of Swindon have been left divided by plans for a new Speedway stadium. Swindon Motorsports hopes to build a new home for the Robins, with a capacity of up to 3,000, at Studley Grange just a few miles from junction 16 of the M4. If Wiltshire Council gives the green light, a motorsports park with a speedway track and karting track could be built. At the time of writing, a planning application had not been submitted but was expected soon. The proposal is expected to be discussed during the public question time of the Lydiard Tregoze Parish Council meeting at Hook Village Hall on Monday, July 14. A note in the meeting’s agenda revealed the parish council has already been emailed by concerned residents seeking its support in objecting to the application once it is submitted. Some fear the scheme would create noise and traffic issues when combined with other nearby housing and commercial developments Posting in the Swindon Needs Speedway group ahead of the meeting, Andy Freegard urged locals to attend, whether they support or oppose the development. He said: “Although several local businesses have already raised objections, the council has decided that the potential noise impact is acceptable and is moving forward with the application. “Many of you will remember how far the noise from the old Blunsdon Speedway used to travel — this new site is much closer. “While some people might support the return of speedway, many will be concerned about noise pollution and disruption to daily life. “If you object to this proposal, it’s very important you attend the meeting and make your voice heard. “If you support the proposal, you are also encouraged to attend and share your view.” Edited July 13 by Toady 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
