ALRESFORD Town Trust is to speak to the organisers of the Watercress Festival after the
increase in unauthorised parking in The Avenue.

The trust owns The Avenue and is concerned cars will damage the ground.

The festival on May 18 attracted a record 15,000 visitors.

Chairman, Robin Atkins, says he will suggest The Avenue be closed and a park and ride run from the Alresford showground at Tichborne Park. “The event has become too successful in a way,”
he said.
