High Court injunction halts unauthorised caravan site near traveller community in Cambridgeshire

The High Court of England has granted a temporary injunction against the construction of a residential caravan site on land adjacent to a traveller community in Cottenham, Cambridgeshire. Work to lay hardstanding and erect fencing began over the bank holiday weekend of May 23–24 without planning permission. The injunction, obtained by South Cambridgeshire District Council, also prohibits the stationing of caravans or mobile homes on the site, which lies within the Cambridge Green Belt. The council suspects the work was timed to coincide with office closures and plans to seek further hearings.

New Cheshire holiday park fully booked after opening

Ty Gwyn, a North Wales holiday park operator, reported that all lodges, caravans, and touring pitches at its new Fishpool Holiday Park in Delamere, Cheshire, were booked for the first two weeks of May. The opening followed the site's acquisition and two months of renovations, including new lodges and caravans, landscaping, and a dog walk. The company attributes high demand to UK holidaymakers choosing domestic trips due to foreign travel uncertainty and cost-of-living concerns. Some lodges are solar-powered, and an EV charging station is available on site.
