THE car park at Winsford Marina is now gated to help tackle ‘long-standing issues of anti-social behaviour.’

Police have worked together with Winsford Town Council and Cheshire West and Chester Council to put the gates up at the marina after problems with anti-social behaviour on the car park at night time.

Insp Dave Snasdell said: “Local residents have been kept awake with vehicles causing a nuisance. Hopefully this will reduce the problem.”

The car park will now be open to the public between 8am and 10pm up until September 30 and between 9am and 5pm from October 1 to March 31, 2017.
