A prediction. "After reviewing local support...blah..stakeholders..blah..track will remain open. Publicise it..blah..increase use...blah.."
Dust will settle for a year or so, then it will be as quietly as possible closed. Health and safety will be quoted at first, then the developers will move in. With another statement citing 'development of other facilities for the school and local residents'
Sorry to be a doom monger but these things seem to take on a momentum of their own and those with the power will do their damnedest to make sure it's followed through. Infuriating that those who campaign are just ignored. If the Headmaster thinks it's a good idea then him moving on is probably the only long term hope.
