A little off the beaten track for this forum, however, I know many aviation enthusiasts are also fans of motorsport and of course the threat from the noise NIMBYs also affects airfields.
Castle Combe in Wilts apparently has a couple of new neighbours (so I gather) that have decided that the noise of the circuit is too distracting for the poor dears.
An online petition is here:

I’ve been going to Castle Combe for 20 years or so on and off, there’s always been this faction nearby who want to close it or stop the racing, I will of course sign the petition.

its the same people who also tried to ban the 4wd course and from what I can remember actually stopped a rally track being applied for.
Official Castle Coombe site, look on the news link

Isn’t Castle Combe an old airfield? If so, it can’t be off topic, can it?
