Update on CitiEurope

[Southdowners]

Despite seeing absolutely no sign of any migrants and dog patrols being carried out we were asked to leave as the car park is being closed at 10pm.

Perhaps it’s just too much of a liability having motorhomes in the car park after dark.

Anyway I thought I’d let folk know in case they’re heading that way.

 

[dabhand]

Is this a permanent ban then

 

[Southdowners]

I don’t know. It may be possible to call to find out.

 

[barsteward]

A member of a facebook group reported that they too had been told to move yesterday (Sat eve).

 

[Southdowners]

It would help if they put signage up to tell folk that it’s not possible to stay overnight. We’d just had dinner and were putting our feet up when we had a knock on the door. We’re now at gravelines.

I think you are better off at Gravelines

We always go to either Water or Mesniers en Bray. Both very quiet and peaceful.

Were you in the Concorde near the eurotunnel fence? We drove past this afternoon. We were there on Friday and were asked to leave also. We went down to the Auchan car park in Boulogne and it is nice and quiet here. We drove up today to visit Cite Europe, but just came back down here. As we were leaving Cite Europe we emptied our waste tank at the garage dump point, after closing the waste tap and getting in the van someone tried to get in our back door, then casually walked away, how brazen was that!!

Seems to got out of control now. The Police certainly could do without the added problems being caused.
Looks like no more overnighting there until Brexit.

any more details of those two were over on the 19th and was planning on cite europe?

 

[Jaws]

Could be a problem for us... We are getting a very late train as we planned on stopping at C E for the night before travelling south

Where would the panel suggest as close alternative in a southerly direction ? ( co-ords' would be appreciated )

who actually asked you to move ?

 

[Paul an Jane MK]

I always stop at Gravelines, not south but not too much of a diversion and just off the dual carriageway

 

[Southdowners]

who actually asked you to move ?

The security guard who had been patrolling with his dog. There was also another guy with him who I believe was a Citi Europe employee. He was very polite and chatted about our border collie, who he thought was a very nice dog. He also wrote down an alternative stop but we just went back to where we’d come from.

My guess is that CitiEurope simply don’t want the hassle of migrants nosing around and so just close their gates... fair enough.

 

[Pedro51]

That’s a b****r we we’re going there tomorrow as we’re on the early train home on Wednesday morning. Can anyone suggest an alternative that’s nearby please.
