A new contactless payment machine has been installed at Glasson Dock Marina car park, following feedback from local residents, visitors and businesses.
Thurnham with Glasson Parish Council say this will go a long away in helping people access the area who enjoy coming to the area for walks, to grab a bite to eat or sit and watch the world go by.
The parish council has described the installation as a ‘collaborative effort’ by everyone and ‘draws a line under a difficult period.’
Marina manager, Dave Lewis, said: ‘’We have listened to feedback and acted to help the local community to ensure it stays a place for all to visit and enjoy, and we look forward to working with the local Parish Council and community in the coming years.’’
Councillor Mary Smyth said: ‘’Following many comments from visitors and residents, from Thurnham with Glasson Parish Council, and from County Councillor Gina Dowding and Ward Councillor Sally Maddocks, Aquavista have installed a contactless machine which is easy to use.
‘’Having all worked together to get the new machine, we would all like to welcome visitors back to the car park, the village, and the surrounding area.’
Sally Maddocks, City Councillor for Ellel Ward, said: ‘’Aquavista have listened to feedback from Thurnham with Glasson Parish Council and from myself and County Councillor Gina Dowding, and from many visitors who were unable to work the previous parking system.’’
