Tomorrow (Monday 28th January) at midnight marks
the closing date for the Scottish Government's 'Motorsport on Closed Public
Roads' public consultation.
This consultation is seeking the opinions and views of anyone, not just
rally fans specifically, and not just motorsports followers either, but
everyone. That means that those who might be opposed to such ideas can have
their say too, and there are indeed many detractors out there. For that reason
it is important that those who participate in and follow all forms of
motorsport submit their own views.
The on-line questionnaire asks just 9 questions and is easy to fill in
so it won't take long, unless you get carried away, but state your case and keep
it brief. If you haven't completed the form or know anyone who hasn't then
please do it and urge them to do it today or tomorrow. Tuesday will be too
late.
I have no idea how many submissions Transport Scotland has received so
far and we won't know that for 2, maybe 3, months depending on how Government
and the civil service are sidetracked by Brexit and Scotexit/Scremain manoeuvrings!
It would appear that from the number of confirmations notified on this
social media page alone that number should exceed 250.
That compares extremely favourably with the response to the similar Wales
public consultation process for their
Closed Roads for Motorsport consultation two years back. They got 76 responses -
in total!
