North Yorkshire Council plans to make permanent a trial ban on overnight motorhome and campervan parking in coastal areas. The restrictions, from 23:00 to 7:00, cover Scarborough's North Bay and the A174 at Sandsend. The decision is due on 27 March 2026.

North Yorkshire Council is set to make permanent a trial ban on overnight motorhome and campervan parking, introduced in November 2024. The restrictions apply from 23:00 to 7:00 at Scarborough's North Bay and along the A174 south of Sandsend. The council is also considering extending the ban to other parts of Scarborough.

Over the 18-month trial, more than 3,000 responses were received. According to a survey, 60% of local residents support the ban, citing complaints about anti-social behaviour, use of grass verges as toilets, and pressure on parking infrastructure. Most motorhome owners opposed the restrictions. The final decision will be made by the council on 27 March 2026.

Scarborough Council calls for review of seafront motorhome parking ban

Scarborough Town Council has urged a reconsideration of the overnight parking ban for motorhomes and campervans on the seafront. The council states the ban has led to displacement into residential areas, causing noise, waste disposal issues, and competition for parking. It proposes a controlled, paid overnight parking scheme on Marine Drive as an alternative.

Bridge Camera System Explained

Questions have arisen about the effectiveness of ANPR cameras on the Kirkcudbright bridge, which record breaches of weight and width restrictions. The cameras capture all vehicles but automatically detect only the plated weight of a vehicle from the DVLA database, which does not always flag trailers like caravans. Council officials manually sift through the data and pass non-compliant cases to the police, while exploring a system to automatically identify towed caravans.
