However, if the race course did happen, I'd demand it be built thru the golf course and see how they like that.

The very fact that there is this campaign highlights the strong opposition to this proposed development held by local people.

Its a fantastic natural green space for the city of Lincoln. I was surprised to hear that Common Land could be developed.. What hope for others if this goes ahead. It seems to me that the racecourse idea is being used to start development and that the vagueness of ideas being proposed is deliberate to allow a foothold in the legal ladder..
