Car parking charges to be introduced at Burnham Beeches
Visitors to an award-winning woodland nature reserve are to face compulsory car park charges for the first time in its history.
Burnham Beeches has always provided free parking for the dog walkers, picnickers and ramblers who enjoy its scenic surroundings.
But budget cuts to the popular 540-acre space mean that as of August a minimum £2 car park charge will apply on Saturdays, Sundays and bank holidays.
Two small satellite car parks on Pumpkin Hill and Park Lane, will also be permanently closed to reduce maintenance costs.
Andy Barnard, superintendent of Burnham Beeches, explained that the charges would be implemented to prevent the cuts made in April from affecting jobs and day-to-day services.
"We know our car numbers and we know that if we charge £2 a visitor between Saturday, Sunday and Bank Holidays only we can accrue enough income to cover the budget cut," he said.
I lived in the area for over 47 years and used to walk my dogs in the Beeches at least twice a day. As soon as I saw the parking machines installed, I knew this day was coming. Very sad - and I am certain this will just be the start. The Beeches has changed so much since the 60s, and definitely not in a good way. Oh well .. I still have my memories! I live in Burnham and walk in the Beeches every Sunday with friends and our dogs, we also use the cafe in the and have done so for over a decade. It makes me very sad that as local people we will now probably have to travel further afield and find elsewhere to meet for our weekly walks, I'm sure all the familiar faces we see on a regular basis will feel the same.History Of Burham - News
