Members of the opposition group at Wandsworth Council have pledged to vote against the return of Formula E to Battersea Park, with a decision due on November 24.

The electric car racing event, which was held in June 2015, caused some controversy in its three week set-up period in the park, with complaints about the large vehicles installing the track in the Grade II listed park.

Labour's rejection of the continuation of the £1m five year contract is unlikely to swing the vote unless Conservatives on the community overview and scrutiny committee, which has four Labour members and eight Conservatives, also join them in making a recommendation to the cabinet.

Since the event five groups within Battersea have urged the council to invoke a break clause in the contract, meaning it would not return and complete the five year contract.

The next chance to activate such a clause would be in 2017.

Labour councillors including Councillor Rex Osborn and Councillor Fleur Anderson have criticised the Conservative group for "steamrolling" the permission through.

Councillor Rex Osborn, Wandsworth Labour leader, said: "We feel that the Conservative administrative of the council are trying to steamroller through a decision to welcome Formula E back to Battersea Park against the very strong opposition by local residents who feel this is absolutely not the right event to be hosted in this Grade II listed park.

"There is a long list of ways in which Formula E did not organise the event in the way they had promised and we don’t feel that very much would improve if it happens again."

A council consultation found that 62 per cent of respondants disagreed with the return in 2016, while a Wandsworth Guardian poll found that 82 per cent of respondants did not want to see Formula E come back.

Councillor Fleur Anderson, community services committee spokeswoman said: "Wandsworth Council needs to take consultations with residents seriously and if they do so, they cannot continue with this event.

"We have had a steady stream of emails from local residents opposing this event very strongly and claiming that they have not had any response from the leader of the council.

"The council has also not said how it would spend the revenue from the event, so residents cannot put up with this amount of disruption to their local park if they cannot see any benefit."

A report released by the council assessing the event, stated that there would be improvements before the 2016 event, including limits on when HGVs can move through the park, better signage to direct people to crossings and more consistent information about parts of the park which are open.

Councillor Jonathan Cook, Wandsworth’s cabinet member for community services, said: "There has been a great deal of public consultation about Formula E, both beforehand and now post the event.

"This latest round has given local people the chance to express their views having had the benefit of seeing the event and all that it involved.

"This has generated a large number of responses, many of which are from people in favour of the event’s return but also many from those who are implacably opposed.

"All these contributions to the debate will be considered very carefully by the committee’s members as they weigh up these conflicting views.

"I am quite sure they will pay full attention to both sides of the argument before reaching any decision."
