MSA flies the flag at Party Conferences as David Cameron praises UK motor sport
The Motor Sports Association was again present at each of the three main political party conferences this year to raise the profile of motor sport and engage with MPs, Councillors, party members and other organisations.
And the MSA’s campaign was further boosted this week when David Cameron specifically picked out this country’s success within Formula 1 in his key note speech to the Conference.
“Do you watch Formula One?” said the Prime Minister on Wednesday. “Well whether it’s the German Michael Schumacher, the Australian Mark Webber or the Brazilian Rubens Barrichello, they all have one thing in common – they drive cars built right here in Britain.”
Earlier in the week a fringe meeting had been held in Manchester to discuss how participation in sport can be stimulated by a reduction in government regulation and how this can in turn lead to wider benefits, both social and economic.
Chaired by respected pundit Tony Jardine, the panel comprised Ben Taylor, the MSA’s new Director of Development and Communications, Andy Reed, Chairman of the Sport and Recreation Alliance, Gus Lewis, Head of Legal and Government Affairs for the Royal Yachting Association and Ben Wallace, Conservative MP for Wyre and Preston North. The previous week, former Sports Minister Richard Caborn had joined the panel for a similar meeting with Labour in Liverpool.
“We were delighted with the turnout for our meetings,” said Taylor. “Not only did we have a number of Lords and MPs in attendance, but we also had representatives from organisations such as Sky, Football Foundation, Lawn Tennis Association, Rugby Football Union and Formula One Teams Association.
“Perhaps the most significant demonstration of the progress that the MSA is making with getting its message to the top is that the Prime Minister this week cited motor sport as a shining example of the new economy he wants to build in Britain.
“The more that we can get motor sport recognised for its contribution both to the industrial and sporting well-being of the country, the better our chances of highlighting other important campaigns such as continued forest access and closed road motor sport.”
National Motorsport Week to start with Goodwood and end with Grand Prix
Next year’s National Motorsport Week (30 June to 8 July) will feature two of the most popular events on the UK motor sport calendar: the Goodwood Festival of Speed and the Santander British Grand Prix at Silverstone.
The grand prix dates were recently confirmed as 6-8 July 2012, while The Earl of March, patron of the Goodwood Festival of Speed, has announced that the world’s largest celebration of motoring culture is provisionally scheduled to take place over the weekend of 29 June to 1 July.
“While these two high profile events will help us to put the spotlight on the UK’s world-leading achievements, it’s essential that we maximise the opportunity to engage with more people and encourage them to get involved,” said MSA Chief Executive Colin Hilton. “Whether it’s as a competitor at grass roots level, an active member of a local motor club, or a trackside volunteer, motor sport has so much to offer. There are many opportunities in many different disciplines for those inspired and excited by these major events, and that’s what National Motorsport Week is all about.”
National Motorsport Week 2012 will build on the great success of this year’s initiative, which shone a spotlight on motor sport with a range of activities, from open days at some of the country’s top teams to novice taster days organised by motor clubs throughout the country (see MSA News July 2011 and MSA magazine autumn 2011).
| Motor sport action sees off threat to 14/28-day planning regulations |
The Motor Sports Association (MSA) is delighted that the UK motor sport community has played a significant role in dissuading government officials from recommending changes to planning regulations that could have caused significant damage to the sport.
In July the Department for Communities and Local Government released an issues paper regarding the way in which change of use (of land) is handled within the planning system. This included a review of the 14/28-day rule (Permitted Development Rights – provision within planning legislation for temporary change of use) under which approximately 60 per cent of MSA motor sport takes place.
The MSA urged the motor sport community to respond to the consultation and ensure that the sport’s voice was heard. Following the consultation, it was confirmed to the Land Access and Recreation Association (LARA) – of which the MSA is a founding member – that officials did not consider that there was any basis for advising ministers to amend the 14/28-day rule in any way that affects motor sport.
MSA Chief Executive Colin Hilton said: “We try not to mobilise the motor sport community too often, but it is encouraging to see the overwhelming response when there is a matter of significant national importance. It appears that almost half of the responses submitted as part of the consultation were from people involved in motor sport. This is the second time in ten years that we have had to explain to government the importance of this legislation; not just for motor sport, but also for village fetes, carnivals and other community activities.”
