I have followed speedway since 1963 at the old West Ham stadium in East London. I have taken my children and grandchildren to each venue that "the hammers/bombers" have had to relocate to. And l can honestly say that they and I have enjoyed each meeting immensely. Please don't let their enjoyment suffer again through lack of home venue

Even more housing, Lakeside Shopping Centre and increased pollution and traffic on the M25 & A13; what fun for Thurrock residents(!). We want our speedway team back. A great night out cheering on our local team. Then at least we would have a good reason to live here!

Live motorsport is gaining in popularityl, and TV figures reflect this trend. For Essex to have no speedway tracks it is closing the opportunity for this experience for thousands of people and a county of this size deserves diversity.

Essex people deserve our entertainment we don't all want to travel to London for fun. The kids love speedway too and it's affordable. Give the Hammers a new home so we can support our team

This is my 2nd Speedway track to close in my many years of going Speedway. It’s alright building all these homes but what are people going to do in their leisure time.

The council should compensate the Hammers and provide a new home. The old Tilbury Power Station site provides lots of land for squeezing in a small stadium. Ideal area too. What about Corringham? Seems to be land there, also in an industrial area. Please bring back our speedway!

35 years of pleasure, excitement and entertainment wiped out for even more housing. Essex people want our speedway back. Give the Hammers a new home in Essex

Speedway is a great family sport & has had a great influence on my life. We need to support sports such as this and not let greed cloud our judgement.

Its such a loss for British Speedway to lose a club like Lakeside. Hope they can return soon!
