Exactamundo, if you wanno blow yer top it's the local council's, nimby's etc who are the root cause of more and more restrictions on the UK's circuits.

It's got to the point where a council will act big time on just one persons gripe.

Locally, it's happened at Croft and Elvington. Some of the locals were well hacked off at Elvington that the Nimby's won, they liked the fact F1 cars used the venue.
There are a good few other local airfield venues that were used for clubby stuff but the land owners won't allow access as they just don't want the hassle.

On the other side of the coin I wonder what would happen if some locals wrote to the council asking for more use to be made of the local circuit!!

In other countries a local circuit is often seen as something to have pride in, attracting business and visitors to the area.
