The future of Batley

[RobHatcliffe]

Having read Jimmy's report from the interclub on Sunday, I now have concerns for the future of the Batley track.

Ever since those new houses were built, I have wondered how long it would take for the new residents to kick up a fuss over the track.

I really like Batley, it's a top track run by a good bunch of people and I for one would hate to think that they may be due some serious pressure from the new neighbours.

Can anyone in the know enlighten us on the situation?

After talking to the residents who camplained about the rostrum on Sunday I have a clearer picture of what is going on.

They have no problem with the rostrum or track. Their problem is a group of 30ish kids going up onto the rostrum and throwing stones into their garden/ at their windows.

Now one suggested solution was to move the rostrum to the otherside of the track. However, this was only a suggestion, and at no point was it to be moved this week, that was just rumors.

The residents are now in disscussion with Steve and Dianne and I believe they are in the process of trying to fund a better solution. We will see what happens, but I don't think we will see the rostrum or club going anywhere soon.

PS. Racing this Sunday (10/9/06) Outdoors.

Track set up will start at 11 am please attend as the more who help the more track time you will be able to get and the meeting will start around 12.30.

Hope to see you all there.

That sounds a lot more positive, good news.

Thanks for the info Tom

I hope something can be done re:fencing or something.

As much as it is daft (buying a house overlooking a track and next to the rostrum), I don't think the residents would want higher fencing, but, as they just moved next to an existing structure, they might be willing to share the cost of relocating the rostrum (and container) to the opposite side of the track, and maybe boarding to, to stop the little gits climbing on there.
