In Brief
Vandals threw road signs banning overnight motorhome parking off cliffs 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 data.
On the North Yorkshire coast (UK), unknown individuals threw road signs banning overnight motorhome and caravan parking off cliffs. The incident occurred shortly after the signs were installed as part of an experimental ban introduced by North Yorkshire Council due to an unacceptable number of vehicles.
Vandalism affected areas including Sandsend, Cayton Bay, Scarborough, and Whitby. According to sources, signs were thrown off the cliff within hours of installation. The destruction prevented the council from collecting data to assess the ban at the Cayton Bay site. Consultations on a permanent ban have faced numerous objections.
The final decision on a permanent ban will be made next month, based on data collected from only two of the three planned sites. Local authorities consider the act vandalism and plan to restore the signs.
