Rejected petition To provide car enthusiasts a safe venue off public roads and save lives
To create a venue in the South-West for car enthusiasts to get off the streets for road safety and insuring the general public have peace and reassurance again in the communities. We are requesting for government assistance in approaching the County Council in this area with regards to a future plan
More details
In the South-West there's an issue with illegal Street racing/stunt driving due to no alternative venues in the area costing the tax payers by using police and emergency resources, plus lives and injuries at risk. We propose to work towards saving the roads and to provide a venue away from the public and a safe environment open on a weekly basis run by the community being achieved upon request from the government to the County Council for a provision of a venue that is suitable for this criteria
