Take a look at Brighton thread, same issues, safety concerns. No activity at all, apparently. It's closed pending H&S stuff, since the horrible accident last year where the poor bloke lost his life. Some very ill informed and unhelpful comments on the road.cc item. That site is becoming the Daily Fail of the sport, all sensational headlines and pointless comments to stir people up when it's hard to credit that BC and the council are not doing their best. They appear to have forgotten the fatal accident, has an inquest happened yet? Because if not, I bet no-one wants to do anything to affect that and they will all wait on a coroner's verdict before deciding the future use or not.
