It's probably done on a percentage of the total spaces available - and allows room for those who abuse them! Look at Sainsbury's in Horsham to see how the disabled parking is abused! It also encourages blue badge holders to park in appropriate positions and have room to get out of their cars without knocking the adjacent car.

Nice to see the car park starting to take shape, on my last visit the posts (motor cycle parking) were being removed / reduced to make more spaces, however I know that provision must be made by law and quite rightly so, but why are there so many disabled parking bays, I think I counted 13?

Hi TT & MM

Thanks for your replys but with the amount of motor cycle parking that has been made available are Southwater Parish Council expecting a mass excursion from Box Hill some when. Extra parking when the co op opens will be needed, when it opens. There is still insufficient parking for everyday users for what has already been built, and Southwater Parish council claiming 4 / 5 spaces soley for their use does not help. Can the chineese restaurant lay claim to a few spaces for there customers as well. As for the entrance any risk assessment would show a dangerous practice, it should be sorted now, not later. perhaps a traffic light controlled roundabout is the answer??

Treetops,

You are correct. The metal posts are for motorcycle parking. There will be a separate entrance & exit to the car park once the building works are finished. There will also be extra parking for customers of the CoOp when it opens i .e. end of year.

From what I understand the posts are for parking motor bikes in and the entrance/exit will be changed once Co-op is up and running. I was told it will be one way in and one way out

Visited lintot square today now the new offices have opened another 4 / 5 spaces have dissappeared from the shopper. still metal posts in the car park, can someone please explain there purpose. still the entrance / exit is too narrow i was told this was to be widened. anybody know if this is true and when will it be done, if at all. why not make it really user friendly and put some yellow lines down, a ticket machine and enforce a bit of clamping. Somebody (are you listening Southwater Parish Council) needs to sort it out.

I have no idea why the posts are there. The whole thing is not very well thought out. I hope there are more spaces when the CO-OP opens etc.

Thanks Brian & Babs

Hopefully the new bit they are building will include some more spaces

I had exactly the same problem the other day. Mind you, it doesn't help that people park so badly, and what with all the lorries etc. Still once the bit they're working on at the moment is finished there should be more parking spaces made available. You could always check with them at the Parish Council!!!

I tried to park my car in Lintot Square today and found all the car parking spaces where full including all the disabled spaces. People were even parking on the pavements. This seems to happen every time I go down there. I am sure they could have designed the car park with a few more spaces without increasing the overall size much.
