Residents of Irby reported that a 'building site' appeared overnight on a green belt plot on Townshend Avenue on August 27. A fence has been erected, and trucks and caravans have been seen. Local councillors and police are investigating potential unauthorized development. The 0.9-acre plot was listed for £90,000–£100,000, but the listing has been removed. Wirral Council said it lacks powers to evict as the land is privately owned and is monitoring the situation.

Fears raised that campervan site could be created at Fisherrow

Residents of Fisherrow have objected to plans for campervan parking as part of the Musselburgh Active Toun (MAT) project, fearing it will attract more vehicles and worsen parking and anti-social behaviour. East Lothian Council denied plans for paid overnight parking but acknowledged considering designated motorhome spaces in a consultation open until September 16.

Parking signs vandalised for second time at coastal beauty spot

Signs banning campervans from overnight parking at Salt Grass Lane, Keyhaven, have been ripped off metal poles for the second time. The restrictions were introduced in December after locals complained about campers staying for weeks and dumping waste water into the sea. Hampshire County Council plans to reinstate the signs and add anti-vandal fixings.
