Closed roads consultation, have your say

I have sent a response to the consultation, to:
[email protected]
It reads as follows:

"This response is submitted from a private individual, with no
commercial interest in any motor sport events.

Overall Proposal
1. Do you agree with the proposal to give local authorities the powers
to allow motor sport events on public roads, subject to the local
consultation? If you disagree please give reasons.
YES I AGREE

Road Closures
2. Do you agree that local authorities should be able to close roads
for motor sport events? If you disagree please give reasons.
YES I AGREE

Suspension of Speed limit
3. Do you agree that local authorities should have the power under
certain circumstances to suspend the speed limit and applicable road
traffic regulations? If there are any traffic regulations you would
prefer not to see suspended, please give reasons.
YES I AGREE - All applicable regulations without exception

Event Safety
4. Do you agree that the Motor Sports Association and the Auto Cycle
Union should be the "Authorising Authority" for any motor sport events
on public roads?
NO I DO NOT AGREE - The MSA and ACU should not have a legal monopoly
of this function; that would be wrong and unjustified. There should
be provision for other competing organisations to become authorising
authorities for events, subject to proper procedures.

5. Do you agree that the Sports Ground Safety Authority could provide
valuable expertise and guidance to ensure motor sport events on roads
can be delivered safely?
YES I AGREE"

 

That address did not work. So re-sent to this one, which seems to work:

Thanks for drawing this to our attention Al - have e-mailed my comments to the e-mail address in Pete's 2nd post above. Having loved watching the rallying over on the Isle of Man, it would be awesome if something similar could happen over here.
