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.

Council to review motorhome parking ban after complaints of displacement

North Yorkshire Council will review an experimental overnight parking ban for motorhomes on its coast after receiving over 2,000 complaints. The ban, introduced in November to address 'unacceptable' parking levels in specific areas, reportedly shifted the problem to residential streets. Councillors report issues including waste dumping and noise, prompting a review that will consider reinstating controlled overnight parking with enforcement.

Almería is putting up physical barriers to keep motorhomers off its former fairground — while Turkey simply evicts them from the beach.

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.
