Broughshane Aire - non payers

 ·  Posted: 26.02.2014  ·  #1
Just pulled into Broughshane Aire, went to Broughshane house to pay and was advised a lot of people are not paying, especially locals!

Shame on you if you haven't paid you are ruining it for the rest of us, get a grip.

Its only a fiver!!!

That is a downright shame. These folk who do that need to be named and shamed.

Totally agree but it would be hard to shame them that are shameless,and how many times have these kind of people destroyed similar locations?

It is a shame to read this.
I Doubt that anyone will admit to it on here ( especially if we all bang on about it)

Pay for it or lose it is the best message to broadcast.

Totally agree. Disgraceful behaviour. Fiver not a lot to ask!.
This sort of thing leads to lack of interest by councils to having Aires.

If the staff in Broughshane House are aware of M/Hers not paying what do they intend doing about it.somebody is walking past the Aire and taking note and checking the number of tickets issued does not tally with number of M/H.Maybe we will find spot checks being carried out if ticket not displayed,so be it.I personally don't hav a problem with a £5,I can dander round one of the most beautiful villages in Ireland access to good pub, a small but well manicured wild life area of various types of birds (settle down these hav wings) I might have sympathy if one arrives 11pm and departs 7am.

Those who abuse wreck it for those who appreciate! Others interested in developing an Aire talk to them and there will be no more.....short sighted and selfish. Ally thanks for posting as it helps to increase awareness and we can all spread the word.

Disappointing to read this - such a beautiful spot, we love this Aire and would never dream of not paying for using it, some people out there will shamelessly just take what they can for free ...

If the non payers got a ticket or even clamped for not paying the fiver there would be some whining then,

Hopefully the local council will start to tighten up on it,

The council have some part to play in it,if they know people are getting away without paying they are the only ones that can stop it.

People should be honest enough to pay without intervention. There is only one person working at Broughshane House that deals with it so not handy for them to check the Aire as it's a bit of a walk (opposite the Thatch).

I can understand people not wishing to pay as when there we put quite a bit of money into local business's and we do buy tokens to use the services, but the charge is there and if someone doesn't wish to pay it then they should go somewhere else.

Exactly that's why they should do and not spoil and get a bad name for the rest of us. That kinda thing really annoys me.
