Mallory Park circuit, arguably the most Tog friendly circuit in the UK, has its future under threat following the local councils' decision to take the owners to court.

Basically some of the local villagers have objected to the noise from the circuits activities & the traffic generated by visitors to the circuit.
It seems that depite the Mallory Park owners wilingness to dicuss the problems with a "Liason Group", the liason group are pressing for legal action from the council.
As with all disputes there are two sides to every argument but it seems that
the"Liason group" does not represent the views of all of the villagers despite promoting that impression to the local media.
The circuit has been in use for over 50 years and although there may have been issues in the past, of which I am unaware, the momentum of the complaints has increased since new housing was built within the village & occupied by people not local to the village.
There is a petition on the governments website that has been set up to support the circuit:
