Denbighshire Motorhome Aires: Plans and Protests
Original source: Rhyl Journal

In Brief

Denbighshire council plans six overnight motorhome sites, including two in Rhyl. Residents oppose, supporters back the scheme.

Denbighshire County Council in North Wales is implementing the 'Motorhome Aire' scheme, creating six overnight parking areas for motorhomes and campervans. Two are planned in Rhyl, with the rest in Prestatyn, Ruthin, Corwen and Llangollen. The initiative has drawn mixed reactions: residents complain about litter and anti-social behaviour, while CAMpRA founder Donald MacDonald supports the project, noting such sites extend the tourist season and bring income.

Residents strongly oppose the site on Marine Drive in Rhyl, saying it would damage valuable green coastal space used by the community. The council says the scheme aims to tackle illegal camping and provide short-stay parking with a maximum of two nights, basic facilities, and a ban on tents and barbecues. The project is funded through Welsh and UK government tourism development programmes.

A public meeting to discuss the plans is scheduled for late this month, with no final decision yet. CAMpRA, which has around 40,000 members, advocates for paid authorised sites.

Authorities in Redcar and Cleveland failed to attract local businesses to create paid overnight parking for motorhomes. None of the approached business owners expressed interest in the project, despite an offer of support from the organisation CAMpRA UK. Work to identify potential sites will continue, as demand for such parking exists.

North Yorkshire County Council will review a ban on overnight motorhome parking after a consultation drew overwhelming opposition. Over 3,000 responses to the 2024 consultation on the Experimental Traffic Regulation Order (ETRO) showed around 90% of motorhome owners objected to the restrictions in Scarborough and Whitby. The ban, introduced to address overcrowding, expires in May, with a decision on its future expected in April.

Footballer Erling Haaland has acquired an Airstream camper created in collaboration with Supreme as part of the brand's Spring/Summer 2022 collection. The vehicle measures approximately 6.7 metres long and was originally priced at around £67,000. Production was limited to 100 units. The camper features a kitchen with a stove, microwave and refrigerator, a separate bathroom, Ultraleather seating, a large bed and sleeping space for four. The exterior bears the Supreme logo and a large red awning. Haaland ordered the camper from the United States and had it shipped overseas; in a video on his YouTube channel, he said he would use it to store his Supreme collection.

The Southwest Motorhome Show 2026 will be held at the Bath & West Showground in Shepton Mallet, Somerset, from Friday 11 to Sunday 13 September. The event brings together dealers, exhibitors, motorhomes and campervans, alongside talks, demonstrations and live entertainment. Opening hours are 9.30am to 5pm on Friday and Saturday and 9.30am to 4pm on Sunday. Day tickets are £10 in advance or £15 without advance booking, with entry free for those aged 17 and under. On Saturday, a Repair Café will run from 11am to 1pm at The Art Bank Café, where volunteers will assess electrical appliances, mechanical and wooden items, jewellery, bags and clothes for repair.

East Suffolk Council approved a retrospective application from Cornerstone Paving Limited for four additional holiday caravans at Spring Park Caravan Park in Willingham St Mary, near Beccles, increasing the total from 24 to 28 units. The application was recommended for approval by planning officers despite objections from the parish council and a maintained holding objection from Suffolk County Council Highways over parking information. Councillor Toby Hammond urged refusal or deferral, citing the maintained holding objection, drainage and cycle storage concerns, and described Spring Park as having 'a long history of shenanigans'. Councillors approved the development with conditions including cycle storage provision, maintaining a register of occupants, and limiting occupiers to stays of no more than 56 days in a calendar year as holiday accommodation only.
