Nasty Precedent Starts With Croft

As if motor sport was not suffering enough during the current financial climate, It appears that local residents of top motor sport venues now have the power to close them down.

A family that moved to a property 300 meters from the Croft boundary, decided to sue the popular BSB venue for noise pollution.

Unlike the action by local residents back in 2000, when Darlington district council quashed the claims that the circuit was detrimental to residents health, a judge has recently awarded the family of 3, £150k compensation for nose pollution!

Croft is an ex military airfield that was used as a bomber base during World War II, and has remained a popular motor sport venue since the 1960's.

Now the future of this much loved circuit is in jeopardy because a family moved into a house 300 meters away from a racetrack, and didn't consider that there may be some noise?

The revenue generated for the local economy not to mention the local residents employed at the circuit, doesn't even to seem to have been considered in this bonkers judgement.

There will be an appeal against this decision, lets hope reason is sought before Croft is forced to close.

What will be targeted next? Brands? Utter madness!
