Vandals threw road signs banning overnight motorhome parking off a cliff on the North Yorkshire coast shortly after installation. The act disrupted data collection for an experimental ban, forcing the council to base its final decision on limited information.

In North Yorkshire, UK, unknown individuals threw road signs prohibiting overnight motorhome and caravan parking off cliffs. The incident occurred in coastal areas including Scarborough, Whitby, Sandsend, and Cayton Bay.

North Yorkshire Council introduced an experimental ban due to an unacceptable number of vehicles. The signs were thrown off the cliff within hours of installation, disrupting data collection for the ban's assessment, particularly in Cayton Bay. Consultations on a permanent ban faced objections.

The final decision on a permanent ban will be made next month based on data from only two of the three planned sites. Local authorities consider this an act of vandalism and plan to restore the signs.

North Yorkshire Council is considering making the ban permanent following complaints about the high number of vehicles, but has faced overwhelming objections.
