Car park barrier

Plans for the installation of a height barrier in a Funtington car park used by visitors to Kingley Vale have been submitted to the South Downs National Park Authority.

The proposal would see the installation of a two-metre height barrier at the entrance to West Stoke Car Park.

There would not be a bottom gate, so the car park would remain open 24/7, but the top barrier could be opened for reasons such as contract work.

The need for a height barrier, according to the plans, is due to increased overnight camping and increased flytipping.
