A traveller who bought a field for £167,000, tarmacked it and moved in caravans has been granted a temporary stay by Sevenoaks council. Eviction was ruled a breach of human rights.

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 planners have approved an increase in the stay limit for motorhomes at Findhorn's West Beach Car Park from three to five nights. The facility, opened in May 2021, caters for up to 21 vehicles at a cost of £17 per night, including water disposal and refills. The change aims to enhance the area's tourism offer and prevent unauthorized parking of caravans on public roads.
