THE installation of a £1million bridge which has proved controversial but will provide easier access between two caravan parks has now been completed. Park Holidays UK has put in place a 40-metre-long overpass across a watercourse in Jaywick, connecting the St Osyth Holiday Park and Martello Holiday Park. The 7.35-metre-wide bridge, which was hoisted into place in two sections, boasts both a road carriageway for vehicles and a walkway for pedestrians. Work on the huge civil engineering project began in October last year and has been led by Essex construction specialists S&M Contractors from Braintree. Previously, residents and day-trippers would have to embark on a 20-minute drive in order to travel from one park to the other, despite them being only yards apart.

There s a superb selection of nearby Blue Flag beaches, and inland woodlands and heaths as well as the delightful Norfolk Broads, making it a great option for families. Most crucially, though, is the fact that the previous owners have maintained extremely high standards, and have evolved the park over the years to meet rising customer expectations. In fact, most guests are either repeat visitors or coming as a result of a personal recommendation. We are very grateful to Pakefield s previous owner, Peter Brewer and his family, for building a strong and forward-looking business which has won such loyalty. Park Holidays UK will now be looking to continue building on the park s success, and further enhancing its well-deserved reputation for delivering a first-class experience.

A NATIONAL holiday company has taken over a family-run Dorset park. Park Holidays UK, the largest holiday park operator along the south coast, offering caravan and lodge holidays, touring and camping, and holiday home ownership, has taken over Wood Farm Caravan and Camping Park in Charmouth, near Lyme Regis. Wood Farm joins Sandhills in Christchurch to become the second holiday park in the county operated by Park Holidays UK. Wood Farm has been owned by the same local family for around 50 years and covers 38 acres of land. It nestles in the Char Valley, in an area of outstanding natural beauty less than a mile from Charmouth beach and the world renowned Jurassic Coast.
