Fears for Top Gear's future as diggers move in on test track site
Diggers have been pictured getting to work at Dunsfold Park Aerodrome after filming was paused in the wake of Freddie Flintoff's horror crash.
And bosses at the BBC are reportedly set to accept they will have to allow the track in Cranleigh to be turned into a housing estate.Plans for 2,600 homes, a school and community facilities have been in the works since 2005 and the corporation does not own the site."But allowing the site to be sold off is a damning statement for the series' future."There's been mounting pressure for some years for the aerodrome site to be regenerated, but attempts have been resisted.
The BBC has been told the track remains intact and should remain so for several years. The diggers were seen at the other end of the airfield from the Top Gear track.The track was used by the former Formula 1 team Lotus as a test site.
