Keep St Silvans car park open

Please help keep this valuable facility open.This car park enables people with children and dogs etc to be able to disembark from their vehicles safely away from moving traffic on the highway. Staffhurst wood is a very popular woods with locals and with visitors from further afield. Offering it's natural beauty all year round (not just bluebell season) it is perfect for walkers, families, runners and dog walkers alike. The woods also have a lot of history as in the war it hid Canadian air men as there was an ammunitions factory in Hurst Green.
Although there is another car park, it is the other side of the woods and feels a little bit too remote. Parking in this car park is also made more difficult by the trees growing in the middle of the parking area.
The closure of this car park according to Surrey Wildlife Trust is due to the maintenance and up keep costs (this is estimated at £156 per annum !) As a regular visitor of this car park there are always other vehicles there when I arrive and different ones there when I leave.
SWT have NOW proposed only seasonal closure and this proposal will incur the costs of welding a hinged bar to the already existing height restriction structure! Also after an email to SCC they have replied stating SWT will be monitoring DISPLACED parking ( at extra cost? ) .Please help keep this car park open and everyone still able to enjoy our great British woodland in safety.
