A hundred people demonstrated this Friday evening, in the city center of Albi. Residents of the Albi circuit (located in the municipality of Le Séquestre) who notably stopped in front of the town hall of Albi. Demonstrators who do not understand that the noise pollution of the site continues while on May 25, the circuit of Albi was the subject of a criminal conviction for endangering the health of others by the Court of Appeal of Toulouse.
On June 21, new violations (more than 200 days of excess noise) to the public health code will also be examined.
Cassation
But the races continue. In particular because DS Events has lodged an appeal in cassation. Last weekend June 4 and 5, there was the retro weekend, 300 cars gathered to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the circuit. And especially, from June 24 to 26, the Albi Grand Prix is being preparedWith the third round of the FFSA GT – GT4 France championship.
Events as if nothing were a storm Christian Houlès, head of the C44+ Collective, which has been campaigning for years against the nuisance caused by the Albi circuit. “People do not understand. We won the lawsuits. The public health code is not respected in front of us. Justice has spoken. There is urgency. From 12 days of noise we have gone to 260 days of noise per year. We don’t understand.
“A guy who turns and annoys 650 families”
Alain, a neighbor, finds that the noise has redoubled for a few days and since the conviction of May 25. A local resident not necessarily bothered by the races but more by daily noises made by individuals who offer themselves trials. “There is a guy alone, who turns 10 minutes, an hour. And he alone annoys 650 families.”
Albi town hall continues to support the circuit. The mayor Stephanie Guiraud–Chaumeil was present in particular for the discounts of cups during the retro weekend.
