Replace Meadowbank Velodrome

This petition was published by SMcDiarmid on Dec 20, 2007

We, the undersigned, urge Edinburgh Council to provide a velodrome, of some sort, based in the East of Scotland as a direct replacement for the soon to be demolished Meadowbank stadium. A new indoor velodrome in Glasgow cannot be deemed a suitable replacement due to it's location.

The loss of a such a facility in the East of Scotland seriously jeapordises the future of many promising youngsters, many of whom have used Meadowbank Velodrome in the past as a springboard to National, International, Commonwealth, Olympic and World Champion successes.

It is imperative that Edinburgh Council caters for a sport which has has seen no substantial facility investment for decades, yet returned so much in terms of publicity.

We urge Edinburgh Council to replace Meadowbank Velodrome with another suitable facility as soon as possible?
