English Aires

Hi Richard

I had the same problem with a spot on the A68 between Darlington and West Auckland. This site had been a picknic area but because of the "Anti Social" behaviour it is now barriered. However that has not stopped the problem only made it out of bounds for legit users. It had a toilet block that has now been totally vandalised and used for "Other" purposes according to the graffiti

Hi John
The barrier is in the pipeline which will keep us out but the "other" folk will just arrive in cars. What can we do unless you can have 20 vans using the area for legitimate reasons all the time. I will pass your comment on to the council as it may make them rethink the barrier at least for a while.

Hi Richard that barrier kept all cars out but didn't solve the problem of misuse.

There has got to be a way for decent law abiding people to do this without the idiots ruining it. Wonder how big the police station car park is

Not such a silly idea - there has to be a reason why so many French aires are next to or near police stations!

Got an email from the council. Your comments have been passed on to the Highways Agency, so we can make the odd little difference.

Thanks John H. I am sure the French have the right idea. Don't their Police have Guns and Batons. I am sure the local campers are very well behaved
