Petition
calls for winter opening of Berrow beach access road
 Hundreds
of angry beach users have signed a petition calling for Berrow
Beach to open to vehicles all-year-round.
The
petition, signed by 200 people, comes after Sedgemoor District
Council took the decision to shut the entrance onto the beach
over the winter months at the end of last year.
This
was carried out at the request of the village's parish council
and local police in an attempt to stop anti-social behaviour and
dangerous driving along the sands.
But
some beach users - particularly horse riders with large horse
boxes that cannot get onto the beach at Brean Cove due to their
size - say they are unhappy that access has been blocked due to
the entry sliproad being closed between October and Easter. The
petition has been handed in to the district council this week.
