Posted on behalf of the DCA Access Officer:

We had a call from Kev West last night saying that he had been approached by the gardener at the hotel regarding the parking. The hotel are installing No Parking notices on the overflow parking spot. This is not aimed at cavers but general public who are apparently using this space for bbq?s etc and leaving a lot of rubbish.
The gardener's advice was to avoid this parking area for a few weeks until it calms down and then the hotel will issue a temporary permit for cavers to collect from reception

Please take note of this and if you really must use this parking area in the next few weeks, please go and ask at the hotel reception.

Thanks for the info pete.i use this parking spot pretty regular for caving being a local.We removed a couple of carrier bags full of rubish not so long ago.Maybe there has been an increase with it being bank holidays and half term.Lets hope we can keep good relations with the hotel owners.
