Just read a post on facebook that said the council have put height barriers in at the leisure centre car park:mad2: As travellers filled the car park in January and left a massive mess. We have used this spot over the years as a overnight mid spot on our way down to the tunnel so will miss this. There is some talk about you can still stop but with the lorries.

Can someone local possibly check this out?

I have searched the internet and the news local to Stratford plenty about the travellers but nothing anywhere about barriers and I don’t see how they can put them in as it’s a lorry park and a bus and coach park.

Just took a screen shot of the post i spotted on facebook seems you can still park but only in with the lorries and coaches.

I thought that parking overnight was always in the lorry area at the rear of the carpark.

It was in the bit just behind the lorry/ coach park

Yes, I forgot it was separated but is that the area to use still or is that where barriers have been erected.

There are no barriers

There are no barriers

do you mean no barriers on the right hand side with the lorries or on the left were the campers normally park? As there are quite a few people on the fb group that have been this week claiming barriers are on the left now and you are now pinned in with the wagons. Another poster claims they were there 2 weeks ago as the barriers were being installed.

Just had this back from Stratford council.

Hi I am just enquiring if height barriers have been installed on the Stratford Leisure Centre car park Bridgeway CV37 6YX down the far end opposite the lorry park . As when I visit in my motorhome I park in this car park opposite the lorry parking. And motorhomes now have to park in the lorry and coach park can you confirm this please?

Good afternoon Mike

Thank you for your e-mail. Yes I can confirm that height barriers have been installed at the Recreation ground, and the only place you can park motorhomes in that area is the rear of the leisure centre.

Regards
