I haven't heard anything, but doubt Octagon would sell it.

Why not? They have financial problems like everybody else.
Didn't they try to sell Cadwell a while ago? |

I've heard nothing about this at Oulton - I would have though that, if there is a need for more housing in the area, there is plenty of land which would be available more cheaply. The only development I know of at Oulton is a realignment of the track to give a better entry into the Knickerbrook chicane.
I've heard a rumour recently that Octagon is selling Cadwell..... |

I read that too, Dave. But Octagon said is was just a rumour and that they had no intentions of selling up.
