What the petition asks

To create a venue in the South-West for car enthusiasts to get off the streets for road safety and insuring the general public have peace and reassurance again in the communities. We are requesting for government assistance in approaching the County Council in this area with regards to a future plan

In the South-West there's an issue with illegal Street racing/stunt driving due to no alternative venues in the area costing the tax payers by using police and emergency resources, plus lives and injuries at risk. We propose to work towards saving the roads and to provide a venue away from the public and a safe environment open on a weekly basis run by the community being achieved upon request from the government to the County Council for a provision of a venue that is suitable for this criteria

We can only accept petitions about things the Government or Parliament are directly responsible for.

Decisions about opening local car racing tracks are a matter for interested parties in the relevant locality, including the local authority, not the UK Government or Parliament.
