No, it's still there and is what Lee refers to as a 'burger van'.

The original building remains. The food service part is still the food service part, what was the shop is now apparently an indoor seating area for customers of said food service part of the building.

If I was worried about the situation I would close the A15 between the Bloxholm Lane junction and the B1178. Then there would be no parking in silly places but plenty of whinging. :ninja:

People seem to forget that the A15 is one of the UK's major trunk roads.

No A15 closed with no access to anyone; there is a very simple diversion route :ninja:

Well they can close roads and bring city centres to a stand still for all these political correctness marches that we now see every week everywhere.

With the world and his wife likely to turn up at Dawn on the flying day,s
One Question comes to mind, just how many cars can the Wave car park actually hold.
With people driving hundreds of Miles to get there ,someone is going to get well hacked if they turn up ten minutes after it opens and can not get in.

Anyone planning on going to Waddington from North Norfolk. Might want to plan ahead, especially if you plan to visit during the 2nd week. Sutton Bridge bridge is going to be closed during September. Although the date has changed several time already :lol:

The have opened the field next to the wave in the past. They did this for the 3 tornados and the vulcan farewell flight and have done so at other times so i dont think parking will be an issue.
