In Brief

Sinop Municipality ordered caravan owners to remove their vehicles from Bostancılı and Abalı beaches within 5 days or face towing. Earlier, concrete blocks were installed on Enver Bahadır Street to stop illegal parking.

Sinop Municipality has demanded that caravan owners parked on the northern beaches of Bostancılı Mahallesi and Abalı village vacate the area within 5 days. Failure to comply will result in vehicles being towed to an impound lot. The order is based on a letter from the Provincial Directorate of Environment, Urbanization and Climate Change dated July 24, 2026.

Earlier, in February 2026, city authorities had already taken action against unauthorized caravan parking by placing concrete blocks on Enver Bahadır Street to prevent occupation of public spaces and eliminate traffic obstructions.
