This needs more people

[Cuchilo]

A worthy cause i think . On looking further it seems the head teacher of the school doesn't want the kids to ride bikes

Indeed and with Hillingdon already having this track and the 0.9 mile council owned track that's constantly booked by clubs for racing and training it just seems crazy to me that a headmaster would want to stop any learning at a young age .

Signed it.shortsighted headteachers shouldn't have these sort of powers,he probably fell off his bike when he was a kid and doesn't want anyone else to have fun.

Signed this too. The track is just down the road from me, and a good, safe haven for young ones to pootle, to learn and to race. Haven't been there this year but it matters. The next proclamation from the 'powers' will be something like "overweight children..." "not enough exercise..." "no school facilities..." etc - and yet the drive will be for the profit of the propertycats (and The Borough) by developing, developing, developing...up and up and up. Dislocating to somewhere like the Hillingdon Circuit would be a challenge for anyone local to this 'nursery track'...

Signed it, we should be building more of these not closing them!

The real motivation will be money - 'the site will be developed'
