New car park barriers deployed at Pooler car park in a bid to curb illegal access


New car park barriers and temporary locking bollards have been deployed at a prominent Poole car park, in a bid to stop travellers gaining access, a recent news report in the local business media has been able to suggest.

The measures have been taken at Poole’s Kingland Road car park, also known locally as the swimming pool car park.

Eventually the locking bollards will be replaced by permanent electronically rising ones at the entrance.

Previous measures to deter unauthorised encampments have also taken place at Harbourside Park and Hamworthy Park.

Borough of Poole (BOP) cabinet portfolio holder Cllr John Rampton said: “We have been installing a number of security measures across various public open spaces and car parks across Poole to prevent unauthorised encampments entering and using the sites, including the temporary measures in Kingland Road for the summer while we await the permanent bollards for the site.”
