In Brief

The municipality of Fossacesia has completed bureaucratic procedures to reopen the camper van parking area on the southern seafront, closed since November 2024 due to hydraulic restrictions. A tender for management will be announced in the coming days.

The municipality of Fossacesia has unblocked the procedure for the camper van parking area on the Lungomare Sud seafront, closed 17 months ago. The closure was caused by the area being classified as a 'red zone' in the Hydrogeological Risk Plan due to studies of the Maier stream.

After 17 months of negotiations with regional authorities, the administration obtained a nine-year concession from the Province of Chieti and signed a three-year lease agreement with private owners. A tender for a new operator will be published in the coming days.

The new urban plan includes additional camper van parking areas. However, the Impegno Comune group of councillors criticised the situation, noting that the 2026 season may be lost and that an opportunity to secure up to €400,000 in grants for a new equipped area in 2024 was not used.

Former sports field turned into motorhome parking in Gassino Torinese

In Gassino Torinese, Italy, the former Olindo Fiore sports field in Bussolino has been converted into a free parking area for five motorhomes. The project cost €82,000 (€50,000 from regional funds and €32,000 from the municipal budget), drawing criticism from the opposition. Maurizio Gazzara, leader of the Gassino Insieme list, argued the funds should have been used for road and sidewalk repairs instead. He also cited a 1985 notarial deed stating the land was designated for social and cultural facilities, not parking. The parking regulations were approved by a majority vote, but the debate continues.
