The Motorcycle Action Group North East Lincs calls upon The DSA (Driving Standards Agency) to retain a motorcycle test facility in North East Lincolnshire.

By the DSA's own standards the distance to the nearest MPTC (Multi Purpose Test Centre) from this area is too great. The DSA have stated that people taking their test should not have to travel more than 20 miles or 45 minutes. Lincoln is 36 miles and Sc**thorpe 30 it would take longer than 45 minutes to travel to either for a learner on a 125cc motorcycle.

A meeting has been arranged for next Monday 20th October at The Barge, Riverhead, Grimsby for all 2 (or 3) wheeled riders interested in campaigning to retain a testing facility in this area.

Please go to the main website and sign the online petition.

Things are moving rapidly on this one after Fergus and I realeased the press release. We have had good feed-back from local media. Fergus and I will also be meeting with the BBC at the Airfield Training Centre on Monday.

We require as many signatures for this as possible - Please visit the MAIN WEBSITE and go to the Petitions page and sign up!

You can also download and print a paper version so that you can take it to you place of work/mates house/pub so that we can get more signatures.

There are now posters for the next petition meeting at the Barge in Grimsby and the cafe at Caenby Corner (Spittal in the Street)

We are expecting a good turn out so please make the effort to attend.
