Stian,
After last years Eurofest I wrote to the Mayor in
Belfast (copied letter to Planning Dept., and Tourism Board) proposing thatthey
should consider preserving the test-track as both an "Industrial Heritage
Site," tourist attraction, and public open space/Park. I got a polite letter
back saying that all proposals would be considered.
The Govt are undertaking a major Study in
Belfast at present looking at land use issues, etc ... unfortunately the site is
privately owned/leased so difficult for the Council to step on the toes of a big
local employer if they did want to redevelop the track!
I guess if there were enough letters from
Individuals and DMC Clubs it may help draw their attention to the issue. The
Study will be concluded in about 6 months so write now!
Cheers, IAN
