SAVE SHAKSPEARE RACEWAY
Rejected
16 signatures
What the petition asks
Taking away one of just three drag strips in the uk, we feel this will push people to use the streets as a race track instead of legal sites that are being closed down, a lot like grimley raceway we all had to petition for in order to keep. The uk motorsport market brings millions to the economy.
Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
This doesn't seem to be something that the UK Government or Parliament is responsible for.
