The Oliver's Mount races in September in Scarborough have had to be cancelled due to health and safety issues.

The Hill Climb was scheduled for the 11th and 12th and the Michelin Steve Henshaw Gold Cup was due to take place on the 18th and 19th.

Organisers said:

"The Hill Climb scheduled for 11/12 September and The Michelin Steve Henshaw Gold Cup planned to take place on 18/19 September have both had to be cancelled.

"Health and safety issues within the paddock cannot be completed before the events are due to take place. Apart from Health and Safety concerns, insurance implications also need to be taken into consideration pending removal of some of the defective paddock infrastructure.

"Further updates will be given through the Winter period and we look forward to working with our landlord, Scarborough Borough Council to help us to resolve the issues so we can have a full programme of events for 2022.

"We have had great support from Scarborough Borough Council and The ACU and both remain fully committed to see Oliver's Mount continue into the future.

"Tickets for events being held next year will not be released until we have a high level of confidence that the Olivers Mount venue will be in a position to safely host those events as the continued cancellation of events is not something anyone wants to see going forward, particularly after the Covid pandemic we have all had to endure.

"Thank you for your ongoing support and understanding.

"To all ticket holders for 2021 events, please contact Customer Services on 01723 333322 to request a full refund for your tickets."
