This weekend, sees the return of the Great Western Brick Show at STEAM, an event which regularly attracts a large number of visitors and with it a large number of extra vehicles.
Swindon Borough Council have promised extra parking enforcement officers will be patrolling Kemble Drive and the area surrounding the Swindon Designer Outlet this weekend to prevent motorists from parking in residents’ only parking bays.
Highways officers from the Council will also be in attendance and Swindon Designer Outlet will use traffic marshals in an effort to keep traffic flowing into and out of its car parks. Motorists are advised to use alternative Town Centre car parks, such as Bristol Street, if the Outlet’s car parks are full.
Councillor David Renard, Leader of Swindon Borough Council, said ” “The event this weekend will be monitored and we will continue to do whatever we can in the short-term, working with the Designer Outlet, to help local residents and the extra enforcement is something we will continue to do in the run-up to the busy Christmas period. This builds on the work we have already done to create the extra lane along Kemble Drive for motorists heading to STEAM and the Designer Outlet.”
