Banwell Village Car Park

The following email has been received from North Somerset Council.

"I have just returned from Holiday and heard that there may be some
confusion regarding North Somerset Council's West Street car park in Banwell

There are no plans to charge in this car park now or in the future as it is
too small to be cost effective and there would be no other benefit

The site has been part of the Parking Order for a couple of years so that we
can manage it more effectively e.g. encouraging safer parking within lines,
discouraging anti social behaviour and other improper uses of a car park.
So, for the last couple of years and in the future if we catch someone
acting against the Order they may be subject to a fine but that would be the
only occasion they would be charged

We advertise the Parking Order every year as part of the process, which is
why you have seen signs on the site and in papers but please be reassured we
do not plan to make any parking changes in this site"

Bogus Callers

There have been some incidents recently where people have reported to the
police that they have answered the door to cold callers who have been asking
to read their gas and electric meters but the callers have not been
displaying any identity badge and on one occasion, when asked for this, did
not have any to show.
