Motorhome and campervan parking ban in England could be made permanent
Original source: Birmingham Live

A ban on overnight parking for motorhomes and campervans in coastal areas of North Yorkshire could be made permanent. The council will discuss the issue on March 3, despite over 3,000 objections in a consultation, two-thirds of which came from owners of such vehicles. Authorities cite an unacceptable level of vehicles restricting parking for other visitors and fire safety concerns.

Northumberland campers urged to leave no trace

Northumberland County Council has launched its annual 'Love it Like it’s Yours' campaign, urging motorhome and caravan users to respect the countryside during the summer staycation season. The campaign follows the expansion of a pilot scheme allowing overnight motorhome stays in selected Forestry England car parks, including Kielder. Visitors are asked to book legal campsites, take litter home, and use designated waste disposal sites.
