New security measures planned in Burnham to deter travellers from land New gates, fencing and bollards are set to be installed on land next to Highbridge’s Apex Park and at Burnham Road Playing Fields to prevent unauthorised encampments. Sedgemoor District Council says the work to install the new measures will start next week in a bid to protect the land. Council spokeswoman Claire Faun told Burnham-On-Sea.com: “To make sure that everyone continues to enjoy the open spaces at Burnham Road Playing Fields next to the Bay Centre in Cassis Close, and the overspill car park and field at Apex Park and to discourage unauthorised entry into these spaces, Sedgemoor District Council is taking action to tighten security measures.”
