Park Usage

Times & Dates

Whilst the event aims to cause as little disruption to park users as possible, there will be times where certain amenities may not be accessible.
To ensure the organisers can build and take down the site safely, there will be no public access to The Gardens from 8am on Wednesday 22 May until 6pm Friday 7 June. During the event days, the west gate, Western Car Park, and middle gate both via Longbridge Road, will also be in use. The park gates will remain accessible for park users for pedestrian access and the gate to the Western Car Park throughout these dates.
During live days, there will be a soft closure of the path along the waterfront, this will essentially allow
solely residents to walk along it, with no access granted for event customers.

Traffic Information

All of the traffic plans have been designed to assist with the smooth and safe ingress and egress of
customers, as well as to prevent disruption as much as practicable to the surrounding area.
The majority of customers will arrive via public transport, many using Barking Station. The station
however will remain accessible for residents.

Park Car Park

The Western Car Park, accessed from Longbridge Road, will be closed on the 31st May - 2nd June.

Parking Suspensions & Enforcement

Parking will be suspended on the northern side of Longbridge Road opposite house numbers 118-136
between 8am on Friday 31 May and midnight on Sunday 2 June.
On the southern side of Longbridge Road, between Hulse Avenue and Ventnor Gardens, parking will be
prohibited within the Resident Parking Bays with the exception of residents outside of CPZ operational timings.
Signage, barriers and cones may be installed in areas where parking is suspended. Vehicles that are
parked within the affected locations may be removed. Please refer to signs that will be placed locally for details.

Hurstbourne Gardens Road Closure

Access to Hurstbourne Gardens from Longbridge Road will be closed nightly from 8pm until midnight.
There shall be no vehicular access or egress permitted via Longbridge Road during these times. A
diversion route will be signposted via Hulse Avenue/Shirley Gardens and Levett Road to ensure access is maintained.

Temporary Traffic Lights

Temporary traffic lights will be installed at the following locations in order to facilitate safe crossing points for pedestrians:

• Longbridge Road - Opposite house number 116
• Station Parade - Opposite number 74 

Temporary traffic lights will be installed at the park gates opposite Hurstbourne Gardens between 8pm and midnight to ensure vehicle flow is managed in and out of the park during peak egress hours.

Minimising Impact

General

There will be event personnel both inside the park as well as externally in order to deter people from any kind of anti-social as well as be available to respond, should anything arise.

Waste Management

There will be a waste management team on-site and the Council team off-site, to maintain the local area. Litter picking teams will be deployed after the show(s) to ensure the environment around the site is clean and well maintained.

Sound
