A planned public meeting to discuss the future of Mallory Park this evening was called off after discussions between the various parties took a turn for the better.

Although no details of what the discussions were about have been revealed, a spokesman for the circuit said that 'constructive negotiations have been taking place (with Hinckley and Bosworth Council) today.'

He went on to say there should be more information available in the early part of next week. This news may go some way to scotching the rumour that the circuit is up for sale to a large property developer.
