LAST-MINUTE Christmas shoppers have been stuck in long delays trying to get in and out of Castlepoint shopping centre carpark.
Hundreds of people are out in the rush before Christmas which is causing delays of at least half an hour getting in and leaving the carpark.
A spokesperson for Castlepoint said: “We have employed extra marshals, have all the managers and the security guards out there helping the flow.
“It’s people trying to get in blocking people getting out.
“We are trying to get the timings of the traffic lights on the main road changed to help.
“We are doing everything we can to sort the flow, but it happens at this time of year.”
