FC Wrote:Following on from previous the same officer came out with another idea, The Island has been spending £100s Millions over the past decade on infrastructure following works to new houses, prison, treatment plant and other major developments, With a little thought and interdepartmental agreement within Government why did they not fit a race track within one of the schemes. Thinking about it I feel the Island has missed a great opportunity, how much extra would it have cost to put wider roads, run offs and landscaped embankments it. Malcolm fron Admin worked on one of these projects and a brand new road in the middle of Santon was put in, this would have made a nice three mile track.

Any thoughts on this Malcolm

Not really Colin, however there have been some great opportunities missed I agree. The road in question wasn't exactly brand new, (well most of it anyway), simply an upgrade to a very old road leading to a derelict farmhouse that was utilised for the siting of the new facility. It does have a sort of mini Bray Hill on it mind you, but I cannot see how it could have been made into a 3 mile circuit. It already crosses private land and would have to cross even more private land (different owner) and knowing the owner of the latter personally, there would be more chance of me winning the Senior tomorrow than that happening.

ps - The Gorselea Marshals would have had a great time up there watching all the wildlife (lol).
Be right back. I am going to go find myself, and if I leave before I get back, make sure to tell me !! -
