From Bill Williams, who is jollying along a petition for the improvememt of planned legacy facilities for cycle racing once the Olympics are done and dusted:
==============================================
If you have been reading the comic regularly you will know that Eastway users led by the Eastway Users Group( who ran the Beastway Series) are up in arms about the poor facilities proposed at Eastway after the Olympics. If the Planning Applications go through unopposed and unchanged there will be no off-road/mtb facilities comparable with what existed before and a ludicrous road circuit which no self -respecting racer would consider using.
The formal Objections to the Applications had to be lodged a week ago but if you were unaware of this there are still other avenues open for us to get a better deal. The following extract from an e-mail to me from Michael Humphries explains.
Could you please advise your members through your database and ask them to support the petition which can be downloaded from the site named? We need weight of numbers to effect the changes we are fighting for.
Thanks
Bill
PETITION -- IMPORTANT
There is now a petition which is to be used in a very high profile way which is best kept quiet for now.
Please go to
uk.geocities.com/eastway7506@btinternet.com/PetitionPrintOut.html
(You will need to copy and paste the link, due to the @ in it)
and take a copy of this to your club, to your bike shop, to work - Anywhere where you can get signatures. We need as many as possible, particularly ones from London addresses and especially young riders.
If your young riders want to do pictures or stories about the fun and sport they had at Eastway, so much the better.
There will be an online version of this later on to mop up all the lazy people, but for now it's important to get the forms out there as people will sign it if they see it. Each sheet has to have the 'prayer' at the top, and there is the address to send your completed forms back to
