North Somerset Council will install gates at both ends of Esplanade Road at Portishead Lake Grounds on Friday.
The gates, which will be installed by the café and at the Lido end of the esplanade, are set to be introduced for safety reasons and will allow the road to be closed quickly during severe weather.
Portishead Town Council says it has previously made numerous representations to the unitary authority, landowner of the Lake Grounds, to express opposition to these measures without first putting in place an investment plan and consultation to fully consider the future of the area.

Construction of Exmouth tidal defence scheme recommencing in January
Exmouth moves a step closer to increased protection from tidal flooding as construction of the £12m scheme restarts.
From: The new flood wall completed earlier this year in Morton Crescent, Exmouth
The Environment Agency scheme will reduce flood risk for 1,800 properties, including 1,400 homes and 400 businesses.
Construction will restart in January and is due to finish by the end of 2021.
A team of community flood volunteers will be established to open and close flood gates.
Construction work on the Exmouth tidal defence began in June 2019. The Environment Agency’s schedule included a pause in construction to re-open roads and clear visible construction for the busy summer and autumn tourist season.
