Seems a bit of an oversight and missed opportunity! Of course they need to have a lot of car parking, but actively extending it while not making the most of existing local facilities seems a bit poor.
The most urgent change they need to make is moving the pay booth further up the drive to minimise the cars on the A6 queuing to enter. Traffic is a nightmare in High Lane and Disley when the park is busy.
