New parking measures are being introduced at a leisure centre car park in Weston-super-Mare to deter "unauthorised encampments". The new measures, which are being installed at Hutton Moor Leisure Centre, include two new height restriction barriers to prevent vehicles over 1.2m, such as caravans and motorhomes, accessing certain areas of the car park.
The parking spaces at the front of the leisure centre will provide parking for vehicles over that size and will continue to provide disabled spaces and parent-child spaces. This area will be locked overnight with telescopic bollards, too.
There will also be parking hoop barriers in certain areas to add to the security of the site, as well as an automatic barrier towards the back of the existing car park which will be the main access for deliveries for the leisure centre and adjacent hotel and restaurant.
