attilauk Posted February 24, 2005 Share Posted February 24, 2005 Castle Combe Race Circuit have been served a Noise Nuisance Order due to some Residents of the village complaining about the noise of the Race Cars on race days! this means that after 2005 the circuit will not be able to hold races from national series, like the British formula 3 and GT Championships. if you dont like the sound of race cars, dont move next to a Race Circuit! there has not been any complaints about the noise in the circuits 55 year history of holding National Events until this. the owners are appealing for the public to please write a letter urging councillors to vote to instruct their officers to withdraw this Notice. deails here http://www.racecar.co.uk/story.asp?NewsID=9018 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael Posted February 24, 2005 Share Posted February 24, 2005 Stuff like this really annoys me - at a recent trackday at Donington a few people were getting warnings about their cars being too loud however as the chap was trying to tell them to try and get quieter you couldn't hear him for the huge aeroplanes taking off and landing at East Midlands airport! You can understand it when people have lived there and then suddenly something gets built but those who move into the area (and generally get their house slightly cheaper because it's close to a track) should have no grounds for complaint. With Donington it's apparently one house quite some distance away that forces them to have noise regulations, they know someone on the council or something like that.

lust2luv Posted February 24, 2005 Share Posted February 24, 2005 This is an outrage. E-mail sent to all council members. Incidentally, here's a list of all council members' e-mail addresses, so you can complain to all of them at once... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael Posted February 24, 2005 Share Posted February 24, 2005 One of the MR2 chaps has just highlighted this from that list of email addresses: Mr R Watkins Paddock Barn The Gibb Castle Combe Wilts SN14 7LH [email protected] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gough Posted February 24, 2005 Share Posted February 24, 2005 If anyone needs further info on this, have a look at pistonheads.com There's a rather lively thread on there about this issue, and I think the e mail addresses are listed for the councillors too.

michael Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 Don't pick on Mr Watkins, seems he's alright Thanks for your e mail. I live in the parish of Castle Combe, race Formula Ford, and agree with your sentiments. Please rest assured I will be doing my utmost to have this ban lifted. Thanks for your support.
