The riverside at the end of Ferry Lane has changed again, with a new barrier installed that is locked at 10.00 in the evening and opened again at 7.00 to prevent unlawful access to the caravan site. The owner of the site is reported to have also been responsible for the improvements to the old ferry landing stage, which has new steps and moorings as shown below.
