If you have any news which you think should be displayed on the website, please let me know by emailing webmaster@TheParkEstate.com. It would be much appreciated.

News: News From the Racetrack

Every Sunday night, dozens of cars gather for the races around the Broadmarsh Centre and up and down Castle Boulevard. I've often thought it was suprising that the police didn't seem very interested in what was a regular event where speeds of up to 70mph were achieved. The racers had their own website at one time and I even heard one of them complaining at a public consultation that the redevelopment of the Broadmarsh would spoil their circuit!

Anyway, it looks like the police have decided to do something about it after all.
