Bad news for Beeston's 'paramotorists'
Available for over a year
As the days get longer and the evenings get lighter, you may start to hear a low droning noise from above. Easily confused with a lawnmower or a far-off aeroplane, it might actually be some of Nottinghamshire's 'paramotorists' - people who glide around the skies using a parachute and a motor. Weirfields Recreation Ground in Beeston is a popular spot for the hobbyists, and now Broxtowe Borough Council has installed signs warning them not to use the field for the activity. The Âé¶¹Éç's Ben Carr went to Beeston to find out what people think of the sport.
