In Wales, Rhyl residents are opposing Denbighshire Council's plan to turn a green area on Marine Drive into an overnight motorhome parking site. The council says the project will boost tourism and reduce illegal camping, but locals consider the area an important public space. The plan includes six similar sites across the county with water and waste disposal services and a two-night stay limit. A meeting with residents is scheduled for later this month.
In the US, Oak Harbor authorities have proposed banning parking of vehicles longer than 22 feet on streets for more than 12 hours. The move follows five confirmed cases of motorhome waste being dumped into storm drains, threatening the Puget Sound ecosystem. The city council expressed doubts and suggested considering a permit system, with a final decision expected on May 5.
