The council's enforcement notices require the operators / owners to cease using the land for airport parking and remove all vehicles not related to agriculture from the site within a specified period. Over the last four years 27 enforcement notices have been issued and 41 sites have closed, a spokesman for the council said. Fourteen appeals by operators have been dismissed or withdrawn and 10 people have been fined a total of £135,000.
At present 11 sites are being monitored and the council said it will continue to take action against them. Most of the unofficial sites run a minibus shuttle service to the airport and are cheaper than the on airport long-term parking facilities at Bristol International.
