Two Italian camper area projects: protests in Pisogne and disputes in Gassino Torinese
Original source: giornalelavoce.it

In Brief

In Pisogne (Brescia), a petition is underway against a camper area in Nistoi due to flood risk. In Gassino Torinese, a former sports field was turned into a free parking lot for five RVs at a cost of 82,000 euros, sparking opposition criticism.

Protest in Pisogne

In Pisogne (Brescia), Legambiente Basso Sebino and a group of citizens have launched a petition against the construction of a camper area in the Nistoi locality. They demand the municipality reconsider the project, citing flood risk from the Oglio River and the lake, as well as the area's environmental value. They argue the parking lot would cause irreversible landscape change, while a campsite with RV spaces already exists a few hundred meters away. Signatures are being collected in the Nistoi quarter, in town, and in Val Palot; they will be handed to the mayor with a request to cancel the project.

Disputes in Gassino Torinese

In Gassino Torinese, the former sports field "Olindo Fiore" in the Bussolino area was converted into a free parking lot for five RVs. The project cost 82,000 euros (50,000 from the regional budget and 32,000 from the municipal budget) and drew criticism from the opposition. List leader "Gassino Insieme" Maurizio Gazzara stated the funds should have been used for road and sidewalk repairs instead. He also cited a 1985 notarial deed stating the plot was intended for social and cultural facilities, not parking. The parking regulations were approved by a majority vote, but debates continue.

North Yorkshire Council reviews overnight campervan ban after resident complaints

North Yorkshire Council is reassessing an experimental overnight parking ban for motorhomes on its coast after it displaced vehicles to residential streets. The ban, implemented last November in Scarborough, Whitby, and Cayton, led to over 2,000 complaints about issues like grey water discharge and noise. Councilors confirm the review will consider options, including reinstating controlled overnight parking with proper enforcement.

The town of Rye has enacted a ban on overnight parking and camping in all vehicles, including campers and vans, citing public health and safety issues. The ordinance, effective immediately, prohibits the practice from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. on all town roads, parks, and beaches, with violators facing a $100 fine. Police state the measure primarily targets beachgoers and visitors, not the homeless population, and will initially focus on education over enforcement.
