New car park barriers to be permanently deployed at Peterborough anti-social behaviour hotspot


City councillors in Hargate and Hempsted have put forward plans for the deployment of permanent barriers at the entrance to the Vivacity Premier Fitness car park on Hadfield Road, Hampton, after temporary ones were deployed on site on multiple occasions last year, a recent news report in the local business media has been able to suggest.

Over the last year, residents have complained about loud car meets causing disruption and noise pollution. Police have put several dispersal orders in place for the area and have also pledged to crackdown on anti-social car cruises.

Last month, the site was also left in a mess after a large gathering took place in breach of lockdown rules.

Following this, Cllr John Howard revealed that a cross-party task force was looking at the aspects and impact of car cruises across the city but on a local level, councillors were pushing landowners to install barriers.

Temporary barriers have been put in place at several points during lockdown and ahead of bank holidays in the hope of preventing likely anti-social behaviour.

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.
