have been counted throughout this proposal response as one response, though each has been acknowledged. 375 of the responses were from members of the public answering as individuals in favour of the proposals, but only providing a generic supportive statement. 27 of the responses were from members of the public answering as individuals against the proposals, offering generally negative statements. 553 of the responses were from members of the public who provided individual responses to the questions outlined in the proposal, though did not necessarily answer every question. 19 of the responses were sent by members of the public providing neutral responses, not focusing on specific questions. Responses were received from a range of local councils such as Lincolnshire County Council, Highways and Traffic, East Herts Council, Tendring District Council, Gloucestershire County Council and Westminster City Council. Several police forces responded including North Yorkshire Police, Derbyshire Police, Police Scotland Road Policing and the Association of Chief Police Officers. There was also a good level of response from other organisations that have an interest in road usage and from motoring organisations, such as the Motor Sport Association, British Cycling, the British Horse Society and the Ramblers Association. There was support for the majority of the questions put forward in the public consultation and having carefully reviewed all the responses, we propose to finalise the regulations in line with the consultation proposals. This is subject to one minor clarification, that though the Sports Ground Safety Authority should not have a formal role in the running or organisation of closed road racing events, their advice may be sought by Local Authorities who might want to draw on their expertise, especially in regards to crowd management. The detailed replies to the consultation questions together with the Government response are considered in the following chapters. This response document has been jointly prepared by the Department for Culture, and Sport, and the Department for Transport.
