Cantabria seeks ban on motorhome overnight stays on public roads
Original source: eldiariocantabria.es

In Brief

The Regionalist Party of Cantabria (PRC) will propose a ban on unregulated motorhome overnight stays on public roads, criticizing a recent government decree and citing Asturias' experience

The Regionalist Party of Cantabria (PRC) will submit a proposal to the regional parliament on June 1 to ban unregulated overnight stays of motorhomes on public roads. The initiative targets a recently approved government decree which, according to the PRC, fails to solve the problem and instead shifts responsibility to municipalities.

Deputy Javier López Estrada stated that this approach would lead to chaos, as 102 municipalities would be forced to create their own rules. The party cites the experience of Asturias, where a unified regional regulation is in place, and points to increased tourist pressure and environmental issues, especially during the summer season. The PRC calls for coordination with local authorities to establish designated parking areas.
