First visit since upgrade

Just back after a weekend at one of our favourite sites in the network - recently reopened after a large upgrade. Impressed by the new pitches, more hard standings and service pitches now as well; new toilet block attached to the rebuilt offices and "bistro" building are excellent. Less impressed by what has been done to the entrance. The previous in / out has been split in two to give separate routes; the right angle turn to get in is a strange move as it is now tighter than it was before, large units and motorhomes take care. Once through the wooden-fenced entrance you are met by two in-barriers - one for new arrivals and one for on-site traffic / those with a key-fob already. Problem with this is that if there is more than one unit waiting to check in you can't get past so have to wait anyway. There is also a barrier on the way out but the whole barrier system doesn't make the site any more secure as you can drive between the two sets in the gap provided for the "on-site" barrier!? Very strange.... The queue that can build up at 5pm on a Friday and noon on Sunday for new arrivals can cause a traffic jam that gets out on to the village road - if there is a unit waiting on the road, you can't get out of the exit lane to leave! All in all, an odd change to have made to the roads (there don't seem to be so many reminders of the 5mph limit as previously either?), but the change to the site itself is excellent. Didn't use the Bistro as the prices seemed high and discussion on site wasn't especially complimentary.
