Pwnc: Freedom of Information request - Height barriers in some of your car parks

Dear Gwynedd Council, Can you please inform me on the below questions as to why you have height barriers in some of your car parks.

Are they there to stop caravans towed by "Travellers"?
Are they there to stop trades - persons that have high top vans ?
Are they there to stop visiting motorhome and campervan owners from spending money in that area for the day?

Yours faithfully,

G K Jones

Dear G K Jones,

Freedom of Information (ref T307)

Thank you for your recent request. Please see below for the information requested:

We have the height barriers there to protect the car park for travellers where, historically, they visit once or twice a year. We do not allow traders on our carparks unless they have permission to trade on them.
Not all of our car parks have height barriers in our villages and towns and motorhomes owners can park but not sleep overnight in our car parks.
