BIKERS BACK IN 'SUNNY HUNNY'!!

25th June - BMF


'Sunny Hunny' otherwise known as the seaside town of Hunstanton on the north Norfolk coast, for years a popular biker meeting place, will be once again be allowing bike parking thanks to the efforts of the BMF.

As revealed to the BMF, from Sunday 29th June, bikers can once again park on Hunstanton's Lower Green and Terrace. This follows a two-month period when bike parking facilities were removed to allow rebuilding of the pier amusement arcade and subsequent fears that bike parking would not be allowed to return to the sea-front venue.

Talking exclusively to the BMF's Local Transport specialist, Richard Olliffe, Hunstanton's Resort Services Manager Richard Townsley said: "I would like to thank the BMF for their common sense approach and support on this issue and I am delighted the announce that bikers can once more use the Lower Green and Terrace".

Due to continued building works, space will initially be limited to first 175 machines, with further free supervised bike parking available on the Southend Road Coach Park on Sundays and Bank Holidays. Commenting Richard Townsley said: "We realise the latter area is not particularly favoured by bikers but request their indulgence until building works on the Lower Green site are complete".

Concerned over speculation of a long term bike ban, he added: "We are always pleased to welcome bikers to Hunstaton and we intend to be pro-active in seeking their views in improving facilities here. To that end I will be hosting a Motorcyclists Forum at Hunstanton Town Hall at 3.00pm on Sunday 24th August to listen to the views of bikers on what we should and could be doing".

Local BMF representative Ian Bamforth said: "This is fantastic news. The resort management have delivered on a promise made to the BMF on the resumption date. The Green is a traditional meet, a great day out for us bikers and it's a spectacle for the visitors. We're back"!!
