In September, a tragic accident occurred at the same site when grandmother Penny Bulpitt was struck by a car and later passed away in hospital. She was a supervisor and is believed to have been in the parking area when the incident happened. Cars are only allowed on roads in the resort for going to and from accommodation car parks on Mondays and Fridays.
A spokesman expressed their sorrow, saying: "We are deeply saddened to hear of the passing of one of our team at Woburn Forest, our thoughts are with her family, friends and her colleagues at this time. We are in contact with her family, and we are offering support to them and any of our colleagues at Woburn Forest who have been affected.
"Center Parcs is working closely with all the relevant authorities following this incident."
