Hi Hamish

 

I hope the liquidators find a buyer or manage to retain its current use as a race venue, as housing developers love these kind of stories.

 

Wimbledon Stadium has just closed its gates leaving Spedeworth without a London venue. There has been many decades of good racing there, including Superstox champions Derek Warwick and Jonnie Walker.

 

I remember some great BP nights there in the 1970's where Barry Lee and George Polley took on the likes of Roger Clark in their rally cars on the oval at Wimbledon and beat them. Great nights.

 

Let's sincerely hope the future and the memories of the Three Sisters raceway don't end up buried under a housing estate.

Local councillor refers to the Localism Act (of 2011), abit of law with which I am far from familiar. But a gov.uk page says about it that, "The Department for Communities and Local Government (DCLG) is taking action to give local communities new rights. These rights will give community, voluntary and charity groups the opportunity to take the initiative when it comes to how local public services are run and planning decisions are made.". So if people are hopingbto build houses etc on it, they may be disappointed.

Interesting to compare the names of the directors of the three companies involved . . . . . .

 

Motorsport Circuit Management Ltd, Three Sisters Race Circuit Ltd, and The Racing School Ltd

https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/05801354/officers

 

I'm presuming here that the public domain information freely available on the Companies House website is accurate . . . .

 

Cheers,
