Update on parking

Backwell Parish Council have been notified that North Somerset Council (NSC) Parking Services visited Church Lane and the surrounding area this morning. The officer spoke to some local residents and took photos of the cars they believe have been parked in connection with airport parking. NSC Parking Services will attempt to trace the operator involved. Backwell Parish Council have also contacted Avon and Somerset Police to raise our concerns. We would encourage residents to continue collecting data and report as appropriate to the airport via email communitycarparking@bristolairport.com and online to North Somerset Council via their website. If a vehicle is causing an obstruction or parked dangerously, this should be reported to the Police via the 'Report parking issues' form on the Avon and Somerset Police website.

The money has been issued for North Somerset Council to acquire some dedicated resource to mitigate the impacts arising from unauthorised offsite parking or anti-social parking practices. Any inconsiderate or illegal parking [...]
