New car park barriers and security solutions to be deployed across Huntingdonshire


New car park barriers, improved lighting and various security solutions are among the measures put forward as part of a strategy that will decide the future of off-street parking across Huntingdonshire, a recent news report has been able to suggest.

The 2018-2023 policy document includes short, medium, and longer-term goals, among which were the possible introduction of more cashless payment options for council car parks.

The strategy also looks at improved security – with cameras, barriers, and new lighting to be considered – as well as the layout and configuration of the car parks, to see if improvements can be made to the size of bays and the cleanliness of parks.

Within the document, the district council also sets out its aim to “ensure car parking fees are lower than the average index of car parking charges of our comparator authorities”.

Car Park Barriers & Turnstiles – the go-to company for reliable and affordable car park barriers and restrictions solutions

We can provide reliable and affordable access restriction barriers for any number of car parks.

Our automatic barriers can work in any weather and are able to immediately recognise authorised personnel. They are supplied complete and ready to accept power and data connections. The barrier arms are available in several different lengths, in order to suit all road widths and car park sizes.

If you need a barrier arm which is longer than 3m we advise that you also install a support post, in order to keep your lifting system working at full capacity for as long as possible.

We can also offer a range of related extras, such as a folding arm mechanism, an impact release mechanism, and a barrier skirt which stops people being able to duck under the barrier to obtain entrance.

Many elements of our car park barriers can be produced in any classic RAL colour you wish for an extra fee. This is great if you are focused on brand continuity throughout your site, or simply want to make the barriers stand out clearly.

For further security under high traffic conditions, you could install our full height turnstiles. These are tamper-proof and weather-proof and require no routine maintenance. You can buy single mechanical (manual), single motorised, or double turnstiles.

Moreover, they’re galvanised with polyester powder coat finish for extra durability, which makes them ideal for both interior and exterior installations.

For an interior security point, or simply one where you need less security, you could use our half-height turnstiles. These have a push-through tripod design, and the arms can be manual, motorised or completely free-moving.

All our turnstiles come with a 2-year warranty.
