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.
