Tomar motorhome users shun new site, spark council row
Original source: Tomar na Rede

In Brief

Six motorhomes parked outside the new temporary area in Tomar on May 5. Opposition and associations protest, mayor rejects old site.

In Tomar, Portugal, on May 5, 2026, six motorhomes parked at the lot in front of the Roady workshop, rather than at the new temporary site designated by the municipality. The council created this site on April 29 after the old park closed due to damage from Storm Christine, but it remains unused.

Four motorhome associations sent a letter of protest to the mayor, proposing a paid alternative. At the council meeting on May 4, the opposition Socialist Party accused the administration of abandoning a working solution. Mayor Tiago Carran rejected the proposal to return the parking to its former location, calling overnight stays there illegal. As a temporary measure, a new site has been allocated on Avenida Maria de Lurdes de Melo e Castro, two kilometers from the old park, where dumping infrastructure is planned.
