surely when the family moved in, they knew they had a motor racing circuit next door, and cars would be racing , causing noise ?

[paul spence]

spot on mark,but they think everybody will want compo now!

[oldskooljoe]

why move near a racing track,when they know there will be noise,They must be very stupid

croft,oulton park,castle combe,bruntingthorpe,elvington airfeild...are all suffering because of people complaining

[paul mex]

the grand fathers right should put them stright,if somthing been going on for 10+year then they can poke off

[andyb]

i feel so sorry for these people...i have an idea ?

don't build a third runway at heathrow just reopen croft as an airfield, i bet nobody complained during ww2 when is was used as a base for bombers !

Ridic - how did they win in the first place?
I would have thought they moved there knowing the circuit was there - not like its new noise?

How ridiculous! Did they live there before Croft was bulit? Our local circuit, Brands Hatch, had a similar problem but came up with a "noise management plan"

Must go - I need to write a letter of complaint about the church bells waking me up on a Sunday, the church has only been there for 900 years so they won't have a leg to stand on!

Looks like they'll have to find £700,000 costs + the £150,000 compo. How are they going to be able to continue after this?

Croft Circuit, near Darlington, was also hit with an injunction, restricting "noisy activities" at the track to just 40 days-a-year.

The objection by the Watsons and Mrs Wilson was not to car and motorbike racing events, which take place on the track on about 45-50 days-a-year, but to "vehicle testing days" and "track days", when members of the public drive cars around the track all day long at high speed.

How the hell can circuits fund everything else if they can't use the facilities other than for 40 days a year. This bloody country is beyond a joke.

Strangley the daughter of the couple who've filed the complaint was married to one of the co-owners of Croft Promo-Sport. This f***in sticks

Derek and Julia Watson and their daughter, Jill Wilson, all live within about 300 metres of the circuit, in Dalton-on-Tees, and say their enjoyment of their homes has for years been gravely affected by the "loud, intrusive and repetitive noise".

Croft Promo-Sport Ltd has a leasehold interest in the circuit, which is managed by Croft Classic and Historic Motor Sports Ltd (CCHM). CCHM was set up in 1994 by Mr Jimmy Wilson - who was married to Jill Wilson between 1987 and 1994 - along with Trevor Chaytor-Norris and his wife Katherine, who is the owner of the Croft Motor Circuit.
