Motor Sport News Cover The Story Sympathetically

Weekly publication Motor Sport News, sympathetically covered the news of the Merton Council decision in their edition this week. The article highlights that whilst the decision went in favour of the development, no time frame is in place and that as tenants, Spedeworth have not yet been informed formally of the situation. Spedeworth's PR Manager Dean Cox, is quoted as saying "Until we get a notification from the Landlords to get out, then we will continue to plan meetings." "It is a real shame - we have been racing at Wimbledon since 1962." "Planning processes can take months, so we have no date to vacate the stadium." "It is the only short Oval track in London, and it is very popular with fans and drivers...It will be a big loss." The edition went to print before the announcement of our petition, but it is set to be printed in this week's copy, bolstering our position further.
