Mallory Park needs YOU!
WEDNESDAY 10th July is decision day for the future of Mallory Park and the circuit is calling on all its supporters to come along to Hinckley and Bosworth Borough Council to show their support and save the track from closure.
The Council is reviewing whether to make Mallory Park reduce its operations to just 92 days per year - forcing the circuit operators BARC to shut the facility as it will not be financially viable.
Mallory Park has already reduced its operations by shutting down motocross, stopping drifting and offering to change track day times and maximum number of vehicles on track. It has also ordered a noise expert to provide an independent report and recommendations on how the track can reduce noise to acceptable levels for residents - in agreement with the Council. The Council has however posted its recommendation to reduce use to 92 days per year without taking this into account.
A further independent report into the financial impact that closing the circuit will have on the local economy was also commissioned and totally ignored, the Council making its recommendations without taking into account the livelihoods of the people working with and alongside the circuit who now face financial ruin - a real human cost.
The report states that the circuit brings more than £10million revenue into the local economy and is responsible for creating145 full time jobs.
Mallory Park General Manager John Ward said: "The Council is deciding on the future of Mallory Park and if they agree to reduce the days to 92 then the circuit is finished and will shut down. The 145 jobs and £10million+ benefit to the local economy will be lost, along with a historic motor racing circuit.
"The future of the circuit is now in the hands of the HBBC Councillors. We need them to understand we are working to reduce noise and improve life for residents and are committed to being good neighbours. Shutting the circuit is not the right choice. We need as many supporters as possible to join us on the 10th and make that point - Mallory Park is an important contributor and member of the local community."
The Council Meeting is Public. It starts at 1830 in the Council Chamber (the De Montfort Suite) at the address below:
Hinckley and Bosworth Borough Council
Hinckley Hub
Rugby Road
Hinckley
Leicestershire

What needs doing? Is it just numbers or is there some way of showing support at the meeting? It would be criminal to shut Mallory.

i found it on FB i think it is just to show up for support

I wonder how many of you would like a local facility to ignore a 30 year old agreement and create more noise and disruption to you daily life.

 

Mallory Park have for the last few years broken a long standing agreement that they could have 92 days of noisy activity per year (that's one day in every four). They have refused to communicate with local residents or offer any proposals.

 

I think the owners of Mallory shouldn't be so greedy.

 

There are two sides to this story which has been on going for a few years now.

Mallory park is a lovely little race track and i would not say the owners are being greedy but are trying to run a business and develop the site to keep it open and not to be closed and another great historical motor racing closed down forever. Now for this to be done yes the 92 day opening days is a bit limited (its not even two days in a week) and the track is also used for other sports including cycling and fishing aswell as the track and the motocross section. hopefully an agreement can be sought to limit its impact to the local area but also able to keep the track alive. the track has been there for a long time and so the residents should expect that it is going to be noisy and busy and this would be inconvenient but without the track it will take away a lot of business from the vilage which will not be a good thing  because without it its just a small village in the middle of nowhere, the pub would close and youd be lucky if the local shop would stay open for much longer, but hey ho it would be quiet though and less interuptions mainly because no one will go there anymore

That is tragic, last I heard they were remodelling the track by getting rid of the hairpin and extending out beyond the lake area. Is this still happening?
