Martin Power, 36, of Ryton-on-Dunsmore, was given a suspended 18-month sentence at Mold Crown Court on Friday after admitting two theft charges. He stole caravans belonging to Rachael McTiernan and Michael McKnight from Roberts Caravan Park in late February 2025. One caravan, valued at £46,000, was recovered after a tracking device led police to Knutsford; the other, worth £17,800, remains missing. Power must complete 12 months of drug rehabilitation, 100 hours of unpaid work, and 20 rehabilitation days.

Restoration work at caravan park to begin this month after major blaze

Hertfordshire County Council has confirmed that reconstruction of Ver Meadows caravan park in Redbourn, damaged by a major fire on July 12, 2025, will begin in mid-August 2026. The fire affected 15 of the 18 pitches. The cause remains undetermined, but investigators ruled out technical faults and suggested a human act. Construction is expected to take about 23 weeks, after which residents can return.

Family with 70-year history of running caravan park say sell-off plan is 'unfair'

The Lawrence family, which has run Dobrudden Farm Caravan Park in Baildon, West Yorkshire, for 70 years, expressed a 'profound sense of unfairness' over Bradford Council's decision to sell the land. The family's bid was previously recommended for approval, but a higher offer was received. At a scrutiny committee meeting on July 30, the decision was referred back to officers after concerns were raised about the impact on residents, including potential rent increases and the sale of unused plots.

Cornwall housing crisis forces young people into vans

In Cornwall, a severe housing shortage has been triggered by mass tourism, short-term rentals, and second homes. With about 25,000 active listings on rental platforms and over 13,000 second homes left empty, long-term rental supply has collapsed, pushing prices beyond the reach of young locals. Many have converted old vans into permanent residences, facing harsh winter conditions, lack of amenities, and constant risk of eviction. Community initiatives offer basic support, but the future remains uncertain as local policies may further restrict parking areas.
