The West Common in Lincoln is under threat. There are plans to turn the West Common into a racecourse. The racecourse would go all around the perimeter of the West Common, accompanied by a tarmac road two cars wide, an 8 feet fence, 100 stables, buildings to support racing, and also parking and viewing facilities.
The impact of a racecourse would have a severely negative impact on the existing wildlife, the availability of green open space in the city of Lincoln, on free access to common land, on the responsible activities the West Common is used for, and on the traffic conditions in and around Lincoln (a major artery into the city – the A57 – would have to closed on racing days).
The West Common community group would like to invite you to sign our petition against a racecourse on common land.
On our previous petition website we had more than 650 signatures. Regrettably we had to take down that website, due to i being no longer accessible. If you see the counter on this website, please add up 657 signatures; this gives you the true number of all people who have signed up.
Please also have a look at our website www.handsoffourcommon.co.uk for more information.
We call on all councillors in Lincoln to do everything possible to stop a racecourse being built on the West Common in Lincoln.
We also call for those who have plans for building a racecourse on the West Common to withdraw their plans.
