Herne Hill Velodrome Closure Threat - Save the Velodrome!

were you there? they said, DE won't give them a long lease unless they have a good business plan. giving that the people running the campaign are local residents and probably know fuck all about how to run a profitable business plan, and that this is the first step to getting the long lease, i think it would be a rather efficient way of getting out of this clusterfuck. without a long lease, the track won't be resurfaced, the insurance won't be renewed, and it'll close for good, and they'll only get a long lease with a profitable business plan. so there.

edit: seeing that rob said VCL are the people who know how to make a business plan disregard the external consultants thing. whoever it is they need to do it soon.

i wasn't there but know plenty of people who were.

i wouldn't dismiss the local residents so easily, from what i hear they were very well organised and had several people who were used to lobbying/organising campaigns and professional P.R. those 3/4million pound houses surrounding the site don't usually get bought by people without a bit of business acumen.
