7th February - Regarding Parking at Lewsey Pool
Message from Active Luton
Customers are allowed to park in the disabled bay when they show a disabled parking badge. The end bay is being converted into a parent and baby bay and is in the process of being marked so. Signs are being ordered to ask people not to park under the wall. To summarise anyone not showing a disabled parking badge is being asked to park alongside the park opposite Lewsey Pool. This is to ensure free and easy access for emergency services that may need to attend the pool.
many thanks for your co-operation in this matter
