The enforcement notices require the owners to cease using the land for parking and remove all vehicles not related to agriculture from the site. Over the last four years 27 enforcement notices have been issued and 41 sites have closed, the council said. Fourteen appeals by operators have been dismissed or withdrawn. In the same time period 10 people have been fined a total of £135,000.
At present there are 11 sites 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.
