Reviews are very easy to write when all seems well and some of these over complimentary comments do nothing to improve a site. In this case, do you like " Jumbo" speed ramps which now prolifirite on this site - rocking car and van - disturbing contents- all for " your safety". This phrase dominates the regimented regime on notices around the site or is it safety for the Club against any potential litigation? You decide ! We shall avoid in future. No doubt the self styled "Team" will say good riddance!

Comment from the Club

Thank you for your feedback and we just wanted to give further information on speed humps on Club Sites. The Club use speed humps on certain Club Sites as our sites are a combination of roads and pedestrian areas all using the same space which inevitably gives rise to risks to pedestrians and especially to children who think it is a safe environment in which to play. The Club has to take steps to minimise the risk of vehicle/pedestrian and vehicle/vehicle accidents for the safety of all and to meet its legal obligations. Speed humps are just one of the steps we take to reduce the risk, but they are perhaps the most obvious one. We use them for the same reason that the authorities use them on our roads – they are very effective in enforcing the speeds set to reduce the risk, and often terrible consequences, of accidents. On our sites, we set the speed limit at 5 mph for good reason - and we only install speed humps where our experience shows that drivers persistently exceed this limit.    

At various times, we have tried every method for controlling speed on site, but unfortunately, no matter what we have tried, drivers still exceed the 5 mph limit. We know speed humps present some additional issues for caravans, but they remain the most effective method of slowing everyone who speeds down. If taken at the correct speed of 5 mph or less they should not cause any damage to a vehicle or caravan.
