Mini trailer Dashaway ECT2: bed, kitchen and toilet in a foldable body

West Sussex County Council has issued a notice to vacate to a group of travellers who parked around 15 caravans and motorhomes on a cricket field in Clayton, near Hassocks. Burgess Hill Cricket Club had to relocate a match scheduled for May 30 due to the encampment, with the team captain stating the vehicles likely damaged the pitch, which could take weeks to repair. The council is now seeking a court date for enforcement.

A British carpenter bought a 2002 truck and converted it into a motorhome with a kitchen, five beds, and antique furniture in 12 weeks. Similar truck-based motorhomes on the used market cost between €150,000 and €250,000. Official registration requires a technical inspection, and insurance premiums may be higher until then.

Residents of Yelling, Cambridgeshire, have reported multiple caravans arriving at Tower Farm, where only one additional pitch was approved. Huntingdonshire District Council is investigating the complaints, with locals expressing concern over lack of action on previous planning breaches.

Blaby District Council expressed disappointment after an appeal overturned a refusal for a traveller site. The site will be used for three years to meet accommodation needs. Previous applications for similar schemes were refused or withdrawn, including a plan for two caravan pitches and a dayroom rejected in May 2020.

Dave Ratcliffe, 81, died two weeks after being struck by a car at a caravan site in Whitchurch, Shropshire. Police reported that the couple had been visiting the site for three years, and this was meant to be their last season in the caravan. His wife stated they had run pubs and a caravan site together, and later worked as dog sitters.

Devizes Town Council has proposed a motorhome and caravan parking facility at The Wharf Car Park beside the Kennet and Avon Canal. The pilot scheme includes a minimum of three spaces with potential for expansion, with a 24-hour stay costing around £10. The area will be separate from the main car park, and outdoor camping activities such as awnings and cooking are prohibited. The council expects economic benefits for the town and Wiltshire.
