Re: Scarborough

Thanks Steve. I've already replied to him asking for a more comprehensive answer re the 1960 Act - citing other Councils/LAs up and down the country who have managed to circumvent this 'law' by providing parking of and sleeping in 'vans overnight. Also mentioned re Councils having prerogative to iss...

Contacting Councils

I'm in a similar position as yourself: I am currently communicating with Scarborough BC re overnight parking of & sleeping in motorcaravans - SBC being another very large tourist area who have a blanket ban on overnight parking for us in vans. Of the 40 or so Councillors I emailed, only 4 have r...

Re: Scarborough

After sending my email to over 40 SBC Councillors, I have so far received 4 replies: two very positive. One, in fact, saying that SBC are addressing/reviewing the matter and hoping to have an answer very soon, whilst another from Cllr Abbott stating: "This has been going on for a long time, not...

Re: Scarborough

I forwarded my original email (& photo of the empty car park) to Cllr Bill Chatt Scarborough BC. Maybe everyone who is interested in this topic could send their own email to a member/members of Scarborough BC? In the meantime, I'll try to get an email address mailshot list together and will post...

Re: Scarborough

Robert Goodwill replied, and I'm still waiting to hear back from a Labour member of the Scarborough BC. I'll chase that up next week (attaching Robert Goodwill's email thread). Here is his final reply: Dear Janet Thank you for your further email. Could we suggest that you contact your own MP and he ...

Re: Scarborough

Here is my reply from Robert Goodwill MP. Sadly, the actions of the very few motorcaravanners are colouring the view of this Local Authority - they just don't seem to want us spending our cash overnight in their car parks and local businesses πŸ˜•. Here is the text of his reply (NB I'll reply stating I...

Re: British Waterways & Canals Trust Facilities

I agree. I sent them this reply. Why is the promotion and defence of motorhoming so fraught with prejudice and difficulty πŸ˜•! Thank you so much for replying Clara. It is such a shame that motorcaravanners cannot contribute to the Trust, even on a small scale in the form of payment to use your water/w...
