Most car parks open despite big freeze
3:38pm Monday 6th February 2012
MOST council-run car parks in Tendrng have remained open today despite the ice and snow.
But sites at York Road, Holland Haven and Hazlemere Road were out of operation along with the Martello Bay coach park at Clacton.
The top floor of Clacton High Street car park was also closed because of snow and ice on the ramps.
Cabinet spokesman Pam Sambridge said car parks in exposed areas – such as on seafronts – were worst hit by the weather.
“Fortunately the majority of our car parks are in operation for those who needed to get to work or go out,” she said.
“Our staff have done a terrific job in trying to make these facilities available for our residents.”
