Council rejects move to drop overnight parking at John Jenkins stadium

Portsmouth City Council's planning committee has refused an application to remove a condition requiring 80 overnight parking spaces for residents at the John Jenkins Stadium site. The charity Pompey in the Community, which runs the site, stated it cannot afford the estimated £200,000 scheme, potentially delaying the clubhouse completion. Local residents opposed the removal, citing severe parking shortages in Baffins, where 8,000–9,000 cars compete for 6,000–7,500 spaces.

Retiree faced threats and harassment over park home sale

A North Yorkshire retiree was mis-sold a holiday home as a permanent residence and subsequently subjected to a 'relentless campaign of harassment' by park staff, according to local MP Alison Hume. The man was forced to sell the home at a 60% loss, with the park reselling it four days later for a substantial profit. In response, the UK government is exploring measures to strengthen buyer protections, including regulation of the 10% resale commission and pitch fee increases.
