Ayrshire £10 a night stopovers and other undesireable stopovers.

What exactly are they supposed to stop? In this day and age I am certain terrorists could do what they want with or without those barriers. Unsightly expensive mess in my opinion
 
I am referring to Ayr, I can’t see that eyesore will achieve much apart from wasting money.
So you reckon that there is no risk then.
That’s what Nice thought.
Sadly those responsible for our safety don’t agree, and I reckon they know better and are better informed than any of us. But if you reckon we should just ignore these risks, that’s fair enough.
As for what that eyesore will achieve, the measures taken will prevent what happened in Nice and other locations.

There hasn't been any attacks like that for yonks though Bill as far as I can tell. Nice was a very high profile packed resort and it was back when there was a serious threat from attacks like this. I doubt Ayr of all places would be on any terrorists radar. Most of the attacks over the last decade or so have been lone wolf attacks by single nutters with knives etc or cars. I can't remember when the last one was. Seems over the top to me for Ayr.

Barry I don’t even know why this was brought up on a motorhome forum. But as I have already stated I tend to leave such things to those who are better informed than us. The advice to do what was done came from the anti terrorist police. But if you reckon it’s a waste of money then that’s fair enough. Enough from me in this security issue.

I’m actually there right now,(Ayr) the parking is free outside 6pm-9am and the MH bays are until September so my understanding is either, after September any vehicle can park in the MH bays, or, after September there is no charge as there is no charge at any time for any vehicle. The number on the alliance webpage is a general number and the number on the signage doesn’t ring so,like the other MH here I’m assuming it’s free but I feel much safer behind those barriers, or will do if they ever close them.

Especially as it looks as though it's already been bombed
 
Seems like we got off lightly parked overnight at Ayr. Wonderful view parked right beside the beach and the boy racers had all gone by 11pm. The sleeping policemen each end of the Aire helped a little. There was even toilet drop off IMG_3928.jpegIMG_3931.jpegIMG_3947.jpeg
 
Ayrshire has introduced a £10 a night overnight parkover in some locations. With a text confirmation its £10.20.
At Brassarie beach park well away from the entrance due to numerous cars with flashing internal lights, or beam full on near entrance. once it gets dark....guess why!
Traffic noise starts at 05.20 with big lorries and buses. No trees to buffer sound.
Ayr. 'Boy racers' maybe girls too in and out of dsignated 'motorhome' spaces and the adjoining car park. Its no different to 20 year ago with this nuisance. So police don't bother here with anti social behaviour. Its not worth the £10 to be disturbed like this.
Irvine: At the point where river meets the sea, Every morning, there is an emptying of bins and a special machine to sweep up the debris of the night before just thrown from vehicles of the 'boy racers' etc. Cans, pizza boxes etc. Yet there is a camera above the rescue building recording everything 24 hrs. Why then, has this footage not been inspected by police and the people leaving litter and causing distress to others due to their behaviour prosecuted? Police failure once agin! Make an example of a few and trouble will stop. I do not reccomend either place for a quiet restful night.
Another to avoid is the one mid bay at Ardrossan! Spend a fiver in the secure harbour. Not pretty, but safe!
Blame the litter on the vanners
