Motorsport Petition

Total waste of time. britcar make it appear as if the Government are supporting this, which clearly they are not. The actual petition is poorly worded and stands absolutely no chance of becoming law
 
Has any online petition ever affected legislation?
Genuine question.
 
Awww.. bless.... they think they're living in a democracy.
 
No petition is ever going to become law, they are at least a start and therefore I have signed.
 
I believe if done properly 100,000 signatures and the matter has to at least be discussed in parliament. For what that's worth.

Not quite right.
There have to be a minimum of 100, 000 signatures for the matter to be considered for discussion in parliament.
They don't HAVE to discuss them no matter how many signatures.
 
Meh, true or not if the people near by don't like the noise...F off somewhere else and why move there in the first place.

Exactly.

Stage 1

An E-petition gets 100,000 signatures

The Leader of the House writes to the Backbench Business Committee to notify the Committee that an e-petition has 100,000 signatures. This does not guarantee a debate in the Commons, but triggers consideration by the Committee

I never said the House of Commons. I said Parliament. The Backbench Committee discuss the matter in Parliament, with a view to it being debated in the House of Commons. Keep up FFS!! Little Miss pedantic.

Whilst it is poorly worded, and britcar is deceptive in its presentation, they do have a point. I think it should be extended to EVERYTHING. Those who were there first have the initial rights, unless they materially change their came or any license comes to a natural expiry. I really don't get why this even requires an e-petition, I would have thought it is common sense.

Even the committee won't waste their breath on it unless backed by an MP.
Did you even get as far as reading stage 2 :-)

Why no, my little willy waving Scots friend, not so.
The committee receive written notification that a petition has received 100,000 signatures from the Leader of the House of Commons.
The last paragraph of stage 2 is quite clear.
The committee will only consider the matter is an MP steps in in support of the petition.
Happy to admit when I'm wrong....but only when I am wrong :-P
You posted the link...not me :-)
 
Makes no odds. You're a woman I'm a bloke. I'm right, you only think you're right (in general). The end:)

Apparently there are similar petitions against people moving near to established small airfields and music venues and subsequently complaining about the noise.
 
I agree with the petition,there nothing worst than people who move into an area where they no their will be noise issues,then complaining about it :confused:
 
I moved to Knockhill area 6 years ago. It always makes me laugh that the people who moved in 6 months after us moan about the noise. We're 3-4 miles away and it can be pretty noisy but that's what we signed up to. Plus once or twice a year we are up there anyway :D

I've signed.

We have a few of those in our village. Unfortunately they were successful and now the business is gone as they were limited to 12 weddings a year. Flipping idiots.

Where we do complain is about the deviation from the flight path. Many pilots a truly cutting corners and it is not on.
 
Not sure if Brands Hatch has ever had any complaints but use of the full GP circuit for racing is restricted to about 6 events per year, it's a disgrace such limitations can be put in place. I'd love to live close to Brands Hatch, The annual free season pass wouldn't be necessary, I'd be more than willing to pay to get in.
 
Brands Hatch has massive problems! In the '70s a housing estate was built just by Dingle Dell on the Grand Prix loop and if the whole circuit didn't have Grade II listing as a motor racing venue, the complaints and local votes from the estate would have made sure it went years ago!

Then again if it weren't a listed site, the property value would probably have changed its use too! ;)
 
Donnington park's situation makes me laugh, the locals complain about noise from the race track so they have to reduce the amount of noisy days and use road legal exhausts on most track days and right next door is east midlands airport with planes taking off and landing every twenty minutes all day every day but thats fine.:thinking:

Could be worse (or better), could have moved near DriftLand. A lot more noise and tyre squeal :D. That place is my second home a couple times per month.
