Sorry but I see the usual high expectation has been set once again. Not only is 2030-2050 ok for our urgent climate change action but the new education target is only 70% of children to attend school. Is it any wonder things are going backwards. I know we have covid but surely the target should be … View moreSorry but I see the usual high expectation has been set once again. Not only is 2030-2050 ok for our urgent climate change action but the new education target is only 70% of children to attend school. Is it any wonder things are going backwards.

I see the Council have decided to again try to stop the boy racers. I agree their activities are undesirable but boys will be boys as the saying goes. You will never get them all to comply but would a Taranaki racing circuit help. Many other areas have them.

I agree their activities are undesirable but boys will be boys as the saying goes. You will never get them all to comply but would a Taranaki racing circuit help. Many other areas have them. Taranaki has always had a strong motor racing heritage in terms of facilities but mainly revolved around speedway. The main exception is the North Taranaki Kart Club and its adjoining jet sprint circuit. Lake Rotomanu is also great for limited water activities as is the Tasman Sea. I believe Taranaki has lots of Fat Cats so come on guys and girls. What about a facility like Hampton Downs with a lake in the middle. This would provide for the boy and girl racers plus a water sports facility which has always been lacking. I could see many activities being incorporated in addition to pure motor racing such as a skid pad, rowing, canoe racing, water skiing, swimming to help keep are people active and healthy. What about one of our rich but public spirited farmers giving the community one of their farms - what a great start that would be. Also likely to encourage outside interest/finance. With say 100 acres we would have enough to provide a whole multi-sports facility. The racecourse is always going to be a compromise. We need to start afresh. An added bonus is another potential supply of water. Come on Taranaki - you can do it.
