Mallory Park's future remains unclear this evening after councillors voted to restrict the circuit to 92 noisy days per year.

Local residents had complained about noise emanating from the track 153 times in 2012 while circuit representatives said the the restriction, which is now in force, would make running Mallory uneconomic and force its closure.

The circuit are due in court next month over five breaches of the noise agreement which was originally put in place in 1985 but had not been fully enforced by the council until August 2012 because there had been 'no significant concerns' from residents.

It is hoped the residents, circuit owners and council can reach a satisfactory conclusion.
