Emily Pattinson (Sainsbury Local Dialogue) tells me that a new traffic management system will be installed at the Sainsbury store, Victoria Road between Tuesday 7 and Friday 17 May.
It became clear that the 'ticket system' was not operating well. Even when the ticket machines worked, delays and back-up of traffic was unacceptable - but mostly, the ticket points would be surrounded by maintenance staff scratching their heads wondering why the barriers refused to cooperate with them.
The new system will involve a computerised 'number recognition' method. Vehicles will be recorded on entry. Presumably, vehicles that have overstayed will be hunted down and fined. It will, however, mean that access in and out of the car park will be unimpeded.
To achieve the work, Sainsbury's are going to re-surface the access roads, both in and out of the store. This will take place during the day on Sunday 19 May between closing at 4.00 and about 10.00 pm.
