North Yorkshire Council is considering making permanent a temporary ban on overnight parking of motorhomes and campervans along the coast. The ban has been in effect since November 2024, from 11 PM to 7 AM, in Scarborough and Sandsend. Despite more than 3,000 objections from owners, authorities cite safety concerns, fire risks, and complaints from local residents.
According to consultations, over 90% of motorhome owners who participated opposed the restrictions. A committee will review the matter on March 2, with a final decision on whether to make the ban permanent expected in April. The scheme is set to expire in May.
