Bollards are to be installed along the length of Weston-super-Mare’s Beach Lawns - in a bid to prevent illegal traveller encampments. Around 500 wood effect bollards will be put in along the roadside.
The bollards, which are about a metre high, will be removable at entry points to the Beach Lawns to provide access for events. North Somerset Council has now agreed a contractor and it is hoped the bollards will be in place by mid-July, reports Somerset Live.
The news comes as yet another group of travellers have parked up on the lawns this week. A small group of travellers, with two caravans, a motorhome and other vehicles, arrived at the seafront site on Monday (June 6), parking at the end of the lawns towards Royal Sands.
