Parking Next to a Retail Hub Gets Used
Hedge End has one of the area's busiest out-of-town retail clusters around Tollbar Way and Bradbeers, with business areas such as Hamilton Business Park and the Herald Industrial Estate close by, all a short drive from M27 junction 7. Anywhere with free, convenient parking next to busy shops will see it used by people who aren't meant to be there.
For businesses and managed sites nearby, that means staff arriving to full car parks, delivery bays blocked, and service yards used as overflow parking. An automatic barrier puts control back in your hands.
This is our Hedge End page. For the full service, see automatic barriers across Hampshire.

Planning a Barrier for a Busy Area
Around Hedge End, entrances often sit on busy estate roads or close to roundabouts. Before we recommend equipment, we look at where vehicles will wait, whether queues could back onto the road, and how drivers will leave.
From the survey we specify the barrier for the expected number of operations, the boom length, the access method, the loops and safety equipment, and the power, cabling and groundwork. For sites where the car park should be free to use during trading hours, the barrier can be programmed to stay open at set times.
- ✓Queue space off the road
- ✓Opening hours and timed operation
- ✓Entry and exit layout
- ✓Power and network for ANPR

Hedge End Barrier FAQs
Shoppers keep parking in our business car park. Will a barrier stop it?
Yes. With ANPR, fobs or a keypad, only authorised drivers can get in, and visitors can call in on an intercom.
Can the car park be open during the day and closed at night?
Yes. The barrier can stay raised during set hours and return to controlled access outside them.
Our entrance is close to a busy roundabout. Is that a problem?
It means we need to plan queue space carefully. We'll look at where the barrier can go so vehicles don't back up onto the road.
Can lorries get through?
Yes. For warehouse and service yards we size the opening and loops for HGVs.
What does a barrier cost?
It depends on the barrier, access control and groundwork. We give a written quote after a free survey.
Do you cover Botley and West End?
Yes, along with Bursledon, Thornhill, Grange Park and Horton Heath.
