Powerboat Racing On Windermere Is Back

[Lakesailor]

For a couple of events. Earlier this year it was reported the LDNPA quashed the idea after a trial the year before. Now they have given permission, after making the Motor Boat Racing Club jump through hoops. http://www.thewestmorlandgazette.co...to_hold_events_on_10mph_Windermere/?ref=var_0

I didnt see that coming -a decision by the LDSPB that actually benefits the community.

It was only April this year they effectively said "no chance". http://www.thewestmorlandgazette.co...oat_races_are_sunk_by_new_LDNPA_rules/?ref=nt

But the authority has told the club it was unlikely to win permission for the events because they did not meet a new park policy.

Drawn up by the authority last December, the policy states the speed limit will only be lifted for those events that the park considers ‘exceptional’ or ‘one-offs’.

Perhaps the LDNPA have decided they cannot afford a legal battle http://www.thewestmorlandgazette.co..._says_all_services_will_be_protected/?ref=arc
