If you’re going to watch the canoeing events at Dorney Lake during the Olympic Games you can expect to be targeted by the local council’s zealous parking enforcement team if you take your car.
Plans by Windsor and Maidenhead council chiefs look set to zero in on anyone who parks illegally. London Games organisers have set out plans for spectators to use public transport only to get to venues. While that makes sense for London’s Olympic stadium, Eton Dorney is out in the sticks, relatively speaking, and much harder to get to by bus.
There will be a shuttle bus service from Windsor station and it’s not clear whether there will be any on-site parking for any of the 3o,000 spectators expected to watch rowing and canoeing at Dorney Lake every day that Olympic competition takes place there.
According to a report on the BBC website, the local council has said it will set up parking areas, park and ride sites and shuttle services from train stations.
