Over 2,000 people signed up on the facebook page, we need at least half of them to turn up at the meeting.

Whomever is behind some of the online stuff seems to have done well at badgering other local online fora, so chapeau for that... Given the list is seven, is there some other way I can express my support if I can't attend the meeting?

Whomever is behind some of the online stuff seems to have done well at badgering other local online fora, so chapeau for that.

The whole campaign seems very well run, and I think it's pertinent to note that this was all concieved and implemented by the local residents rather than anything to do with the track management or cycling clubs.

Just goes to show how important the place is to a lot of people.

yes please...we need a purpose polo court in london.

HI, New here, old on bikes, more miles than I care to remember. I live Local to HHV, With the estate putting rates up 30%, whats needed is a hole heap of neg publicity for the estate, Cycing is 'cool' again (i hate that word but there you go!) to let the heritage go doesn't make sense.

The real aim is to get Dulwich Estates to recognise the potential here, not to vilify them. People have to be careful not to turn this into a lobby "against" and rather a "for".

I can't make the meeting due to prior commitments. And I can't sign the facebook petition due to not being on Facebook.

But if someone has a poster of that Save Herne Hill logo thing then I will gladly put it on the LFGSS stand at the Cycle Show to make people aware of it.

There are postcards and flyers too, the cycle show is after the public meeting though, but It may still be very useful, thanks for that Velocio, I'll make sure you get enough of those bits.

Ah, I wondered when he'd get that together. Pretty good isn't it.

The guy walking across the track right at the beginning looks like a cool dude.
