Support the return of Thurrock Hammers Speedway to Thurrock

THE BEST PLACE EVER! I loved going to speedway meets, I would look forward to them every week! I love the Lakeside Hammers Speedway Race Track as it is a fun and good venue for all ages! Please bring back the raceway! I miss it way too much.

Motorsport venues need to stop being closed down as this is people's livings and hobbies, closing venues will just encourage street racing which people will then complain about, councils cat have it both ways legal organised racing at specific controlled venues of or illegal dangerous racing on the streets

Please consider the return of all oval Motorsport to arena essex as I have raced there myself and it is a great sense of community and brings people together with like minded interests and provides a good source of entertainment for local and broader communities.

Arena Essex is my local small over track I’m am devastated to see it close. Through out my childhood it was almost a weekly trip to arena’ also I had family race at the circuit I had plans to race there myself but I held back as it was closing.

My family and myself loved arena Essex and raced here for many years. Really is a waste to loose it.

Bring Back Speedway !

Please continue with speedway in Thurrock.

We need a local race track

Even though I live in Devon I have visited the Lakeside raceway many times on my visits to Ilford. A great night out, a great raceway and hope Thurrock Council can find a new site for speedway to continue.

Bring back motorsport

Bring back the hammers!!!!

All though I live in Australia, it seems that my favourite sport since I was 1, yes 1, is rapidly disappearing, like Coventry, bellvue, cradley heath, and more. That I used to tour the country with my dad. It's beyond the joke that a national sport in the UK, has to make way for houses and commercial sites. It's rediculace.

I was a Reading supporter and the fight is on to get it back. It’s a terrible shame that yet another one is lost. Bring it back !!!

Planners should realise that housing is where you live, community is how you live and speedway is a way of life.

We must keep the heart and life of Motorcycle Speedway alive!!

Please please ease bring speedway back...

It's a family sport

this place was my home track I race a banger there for years and I went there as a kid to watch All the racing

Keep the track alive... it's a family sport and far more exciting than Formula One !!

Speedway still has a huge following on the local community, and this stadium is one of the precious few remaining for sports in the area. It should not be another victim.
