Berrow beach is being closed to cars for the winter season. This is a first and will greatly inconvenience locals who use the beach out of season when it is quieter, with fewer visitors. The council say that there will be nobody to help if drivers get stuck in the beach mud. This really happens in the summer season when visitors do not read the warning signs. Locals are very aware of beach safety. This seems to be a case of the council clawing in as much council tax as possible without giving any consideration to the locals. We want Sedgemoor District Council to rethink this very poor decision and show some consideration to their local community.
