Couple sells all belongings and travels the world: they have visited 15 countries in a camper van

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.

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.

A gang of thieves raided Chelston Motorhomes in Summerfield Way, Chelston Business Park, at about 11 pm on Sunday, August 23. Three motorhomes were stolen and several other vehicles damaged. All three stolen vehicles were later recovered from local streets. Police are investigating, have gathered forensic evidence, and are asking for CCTV, doorbell, or dashcam footage from the relevant areas.

Machynlleth Town Council has raised no objections to plans by Garth Holiday Park to replace a holiday cabin with six new holiday let pods. The park, in use since the 1950s, has held a David Bellamy Gold Award since 1997 for environmental stewardship. The application will be considered by Powys County Council's planning committee later this year.

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.

Firefighters spent the night at the scene of a grass fire near the village of Hopeman in Moray. Six appliances and a wildfire unit were sent to the scene at around 16:30 on Tuesday, with four appliances remaining at first light. Footage showed flames and dense smoke next to a campsite containing campervans and caravans. Lossiemouth Community Council said there were believed to have been some power cuts as a result of the fire.
