Dorman's Pool Access

[Dave-N]

As you will all know access to Dorman's Pool is via Huntsman?s Drive which is a private road. The Bird Club has had an access agreement for many years and our old signs said your membership card was your access permit. When RSPB took over Dorman`s Pool this arrangement was kept in place by their kind permission.

There is a 30 miles per hour speed limit on this road. If you have been up to the top car park you will have seen the speed camera sign which gives your speed and a smiley face if you are under 30mph. We have been told that the road owners intend to install more speed cameras which will take pictures of speeding vehicles and their number plates. Clearly abusing the speed limit could therefore lead to a ban, just as it applies to the employees from the industrial sites along the road.

Because of security concerns, they also intend to do random weekend checks on vehicles using this road. You may therefore be asked to pull over and explain what you are doing. Please be courteous if this happens and have your TBC or RSPB membership card with you or access will, quite rightly, be refused.
