The  Gate again

When using the fingerprint reader pleeease remember to close the flap again, the sun baking on it all afternoon certainly is not good for it.
We are currently experiencing gate problems the technicians are working on it. So if your finger or mobile is not working, jump out of your car as it may be on manual. But please remember to close it again straight away. Many thanks.
