Off season

Post by polo99 »

Hello, I have been thinking has anyone considered the possibility of trying to get parking access off season? Very often councils will not consider our requests because it conflicts with local campsite buisneses. So many of us predominatly travel off season when the campsites are closed so there would be no conflict of interest and would bring revenue to the local economy when it is needed.

We have a template to send to campsites to suggest operating as a winter Aire,
Refusing permission for an Aires because it may conflict with another business is against council guidance, they do not refuse a B&B because if may conflict with a 4 star hotel.
If a campsites business model excludes the needs of the no booking one night stay required by touring motorcaravans then why should a council refuse to provide or allow these facilities.

Please check out our guide available via the business hub
