Number plate recognition to replace wardens

It’s my belief that the trials are being held to enhance check-in rather than to replace staff. However, if you bear in mind that camc is struggling to recruit site staff, what you were told starts to make sense.

But, like the trial of smart metering of electricity at 2 sites, it is only a trial .

It won’t happen - but having stayed at dozens of sites without resident wardens who were permanently on site  I didn’t lose sleep.

Here's a link to the original info (trial at IOW Southland too.)

By who were you made aware of this?

It might replace wardens at the checking in part especially with pre-payment before arrival but not altogether unless there are self cleaning facilities and sites. From the FAQs

...freeing up staff for other important jobs on site...

There are no facilities, other than taps, bollards and bins at Notgrove. Not a huge amount of grass either, but it is a lovely little Site, one we like a lot. It’s a half hour from Moreton in Marsh Site, so might well be staffed and managed from there, if on-site staff were withdrawn. 

We have used a lot of CLs where there isn’t always someone around, we have used unstaffed Forestry Commission legal overnight stops, and other such places. We simply get on with it, but recognise it doesn’t suit everyone. If we get somewhere, and think it might not be safe, we don’t stop, but move on. 

The only aspect that might give us pause for thought would be a trespass by Travellers. However this does happen on staffed sites and there’s little staff can actually do when it does. 

I’m not sure if Notgrove has seasonal pitches, if so, I wouldn’t leave an unattended van there without a staff presence.

There's a couple of statements made in this thread that I'd be interested to know where the facts came from if anyone would care to share.

1:- That the ANPR camera entry system is to replace staff. 

2: Club are struggling to recruit staff.

I can’t deal with 1, JK, which seems to be contrary to the club's statement.

As for 2, I may well be in error as I made the mistake of recounting something another poster said on numerous occasions. I should have known better😳. Apologies if that comment is not factual.

The recruitment area of the website is still asking about interest in working on Club Sites JK. Both as Assistant, and Manager for those with experience. Surely if they are advertising, they are recruiting, even if it’s for cover staff?
