Harrogate residents demand ban on overnight campervan parking on the Stray

Stonham Barns Holiday Park in Suffolk, UK, was sold to Cosgrove Leisure Parks UK after entering administration in February 2025 due to financial pressures. Independent business owners at the park, including Luke Hughes of Legends Sports Bar and Glen Wade of Glen's Collectables Shop, said they are confident about the future following meetings with the new owners. Managing director Patrick Cosgrove stated plans to introduce fresh ideas and improvements to the park.

Angela Walker, 61, from Bradford, received two penalty notices totalling £240 after driving her second-hand motorhome through the city's Clean Air Zone in May without being aware of the charges. She said the helpline operator could not assist because they were unfamiliar with the area, and the zone map was unclear. Walker believes a warning for a first offence would be fairer.

Angela Walker, 61, from Bradford, received two £120 penalty notices after driving her second-hand motorhome through the city's Clean Air Zone in May. She was unaware of the charges until the fines arrived. Walker criticised the signage and helpline, saying an operator could not assist because she was not from Bradford. Bradford Council stated that over 3,000 signs are installed and advised checking vehicle compliance online.

More than £3,000 has been raised via GoFundMe for a couple who lost their home in a static caravan fire on Undley Road in Lakenheath. The blaze, which started on Tuesday morning, spread to outbuildings, fencing and vegetation. Two people were taken to Addenbrooke's Hospital. The fundraising target is £9,000.

Fliss Freeborn, 23, bought a used VW Transporter T5 for £8,500 (about $10,000) and converted it into a home on wheels using furniture from her old apartment. The total budget was around £10,000 ($11,900). An old TV stand became a kitchen unit, bed slats became a storage box, and bookshelf shelves were used for the table and bed platform. New wood cost $35, and a custom mattress cost $120. The motorhome has no built-in sink or stove; a portable two-burner stove is used. An auxiliary battery charged by the engine provides power.

Michael Delaney, 39, from Sussex, England, must remove six motorhome pitches and restore a seven-acre plot he concreted without planning permission. Work began in August without an application, and inspector Paul Freer described the development as a 'flagrant, contemptuous and blatant' case of deliberate unauthorized building. The site is habitat for the protected great crested newt, adding an environmental dimension. The family has three months to vacate the motorhomes and six months to remove hard surfaces and restore the land.
