Another busy winter at Laneside and we have had lots of projects on the go.

One of the main tasks was to install a reliable Wifi system which we are pleased to announce is in hand. We are hoping to get everything up and running for the start of the season but we are still waiting for the fibre optic cable to be installed.

Unfortunately, our line provider has still not given us a firm date for this.
However, we are still going ahead with the provisions needed; so as soon as this is installed we can go live with the system. The boys have been busy digging trenches and laying the cable throughout the site so all corners of the park should receive a good signal.

This has been an expensive project so there will now be a charge for wifi. The login and payment system has been simplified to ensure ease of access. You will be able to connect from the comfort of your caravan instead of having to purchase vouchers in the office. Simply open your web browser and you will be directed to the log-in portal.

To maintain a good quality of service we will be implementing a ‘fair use policy’ to ensure all users can have a fair share of data use. More information on this and the wifi tariff will be available soon.

The boiler room has had a complete revamp and extension. A new large tank has been housed in the ‘tank room’ shown in the picture above. As well as new boilers and pumps. 

This is in preparation for the planned shower extension and toilet block update, which is due to go ahead in the next couple of years.

We have carried on the block paving in the Noe Field adding 4 more fully serviced pitches. 

As well as upgrading the two tent pitches next to the boules court into hard standing.
