THE future of a North-East racing circuit that generates £3m a year for the local economy depends on an Appeal Court decision over noise levels, motorsport chiefs said last night. Barristers for Croft Circuit, near Darlington, are trying to overturn an order to pay £150,000 to a couple and their daughter, who live next to the track. The family complained that their quality of life had been ruined by screeching tyres and revving engines. Race organisers say that if the decision is upheld, it could open the gates to countless compensation claims from neighbouring residents, jeopardising the long-term future of the venue. â

The momentum building behind this effort shows how many people recognize the cultural and economic importance of Croft Circuit. Reaching one thousand signatures will provide a significant mandate when we present our case to officials. Please take a moment to pass this campaign along to others who value the future of our local racing heritage.

The track has been there for years! If you move next to a race circuit you cant complain about the noise. Common sense people.

Ridiculous. Croft is iconic for the north east and brings so many people into the area. Keep it open!

These people knew exactly what they were getting into when they bought that house. Deal with it or move somewhere quiet.
