Good Afternoon
You may be aware that Allerdale’s Development Panel approved our application ADD/2020/0001 yesterday, therefore we will be starting to operate the M-Sport Evaluation Centre test track imminently.
I just wanted to get in touch with you about how you can contact us regarding our use of the track. We have just published a new website, www.mec-track.co.uk, which is dedicated to informing the local community about our use of the track, and includes a calendar of our planned use and contact details.
I also wanted to let you know about the letter that we’ve just distributed to residents of Dovenby and other properties close to the Dovenby Hall Estate – I have attached a copy of this letter for your records. Please feel free to share this with anyone you consider necessary.
Many Thanks
