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.

Rye bans overnight parking and camping in vehicles townwide

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.

Journalist obtains caravan coastal parking permit in Malta without owning one

A MaltaToday reporter secured a 24-hour permit to park a caravan at Baħar iċ-Ċagħaq in 10 minutes for €1, without owning a caravan or providing any proof of ownership. The online system did not verify age or identity — the applicant claimed to be over 60 despite being in their early 20s. Naxxar mayor Christopher Deguara said the council has no control over permits issued in its name and called for the system to be removed from automated processing.
