Masson/ Jug parking again 😢

Today a group of friends intended to cave here. On arrival the entirety of the passing spaces as well as the agreed parking areas were full of cars. My friends spoke to someone leaving their car in the passing space / wagon turning area, who basically said they didn't care about the agreed restrictions. They didn't disclose if they were climbing, caving, walking or what activity they intended to do.
I can see us losing access if this continues 😢
Does not the BMC have this information as well as DCA / Peak District caving info?
What if anything can be done to ease the situation?
I had heard the new owner of the quarry wanted to create a car park on his land, but access over the fields in between was awkward to arrange?

It’s clearly stated on the ukclimbing page and the bmc access database. realistically its not going to stop anyone who isn’t in the climbing and caving communities(or people with common sense) from parking anywhere because they have no idea what the restrictions are.
 
A small number of idiots spoils it for the majority.

A sad story endlessly repeated. I can only hope the farmer deals with specific problem cars with a telehandler rather than impacting all the people parking.

When I was a lad they would have been tied to a tree, whipped until they screamed and had their buttocks branded with red hot irons. Might sound harsh in today's namby pamby times but it's the only way they'll learn and they'll thank you for it later.

Cow shit and feather lynching may be the order of the day !
 
This is all sounding like the activities this 'shaggers nook' was always famous for. Oh t' good ol':) days.
