Reach Fair - Parking and Access Arrangements
This year's Reach Fair will be held on 5th May. As the fair continues to be well attended, the Fair Committee has decided to repeat the park and ride system operated over the last two years, with parking provided on the large field in Rogers Road owned by Stockbourne Management Ltd. The arrangements continue to be supported by the Police Authority and seem to have significantly reduced traffic congestion in both Burwell and Swaffham Prior and the approach roads to Reach, despite the increased number of visitors.
The Fair Committee has applied to Cambridgeshire County Council for a temporary road closure order between 11.00am and 6.00pm on 5th May. The closed sections of road are detailed below. Alternative diversion routes will be sign posted from the B1102 through Swaffham Prior to Upware and on Swaffham Prior Fen through Swaffham Prior to Burwell. Stewards will control the road closure points during the closure period.
Schedule of Proposed Road Closure 11.00hrs to 18.00hrs
- Fair Green, Reach along its entire length (but allowing access between Great Lane, Reach and Chapel Lane, Reach).
- Burwell Road, Reach from its junction with Fair Green, Reach to its junction with Weirs Drove, Burwell
- Swaffham Road, Reach from its junction with Fair Green, Reach to its junction with Rogers Road, Swaffham Prior
If you have any questions about the closure order please contact any member of the Fair Committee or come along to one of the meetings on 9th and 16th April. We still need volunteers to act as stewards and help sell programmes in the car park so you will be very welcome. We hope you enjoy the Fair.
