A retired businessman is calling on council chiefs to scrap plans for a wildlife haven and instead build a Formula One-style racing circuit.
A proposal for an international racetrack at Musselburgh Lagoons has been put forward by The Sunbeam Trust, set up by retired Peebles businessman Bob Jamieson.
He claimed the trust is currently involved in a project to start producing hydrogen fuel in Scotland through one of its subsidiaries, Alba H2 Fuel, and it is hoped the track could eventually feature hydrogen cars which would create zero emissions and ‘silent racing’.
The proposal would see other sports facilities based at the site, including an ice rink, gym and speedway venue; however, the main focus would be a racetrack.
Draft layouts of the proposal, which have been sent to East Lothian Council by the trust, outlines a track based on the Albert Park Circuit in Melbourne, Australia.
