A caravan has been spotted on Kitchener Road in Great Yarmouth, despite the borough council previously clearing almost 20 abandoned caravans and vans from local roads. The council has taken on new responsibility for tackling illegal highway encampments, focusing on Kitchener Road, Wellesley Road, Bloomfield Road, and South Beach Parade. According to the council, five people have been placed in long-term accommodation, and 19 caravans and vans have been permanently removed. Local MP Rupert Lowe has been pushing for removal of the caravans for over 18 months.

German Federal Fiscal Court: Luxury motorhome sales can be tax-exempt

Germany's highest fiscal court has ruled that the short-term resale of expensive motorhomes is not necessarily subject to speculation tax. The decision stems from a case where a Saxon couple sold a motorhome for €315,000 a few months after purchase. The court classified the motorhome as an item for personal use, which is an exception to the one-year tax rule for private sales.

Trecco Bay caravan owner reports faults and broken repair promises

Emma Corten from Pontypool bought a second-hand caravan from Trecco Bay Holiday Park for £44,000 about two years ago. The seller agreed to fix minor faults within weeks, but Corten says the work was not done and more serious issues emerged, including windows that won't open, leaks under the caravan, damaged locks and mirrors. After she complained, the park offered to buy back the caravan for £9,000–£10,000, a fraction of the purchase price. Corten, who has multiple health conditions, says the dispute has harmed her wellbeing and she has instructed a solicitor. The park says repairs have been completed and a goodwill gesture was offered.
