Salaries, motorhome and SNP accounts: Nicola Sturgeon interview details

British company Wheelhome has introduced the foldable Dashaway ECT2 trailer, which transforms into a mini caravan in five minutes. Its curb weight starts at 370 kg, allowing towing with a passenger car under category B. Standard equipment includes an induction hob, microwave, 12-liter compressor fridge, portable toilet, lithium battery with a 3000 W inverter, and a 200 W solar panel. The sleeping area measures 196×127 cm and accommodates two people. The price in the UK starts at £19,750 (about €23,000); buyers in Germany will need to consider import and registration procedures.

West Sussex authorities issued a notice to vacate to a group of travellers who parked about 15 caravans and motorhomes on a cricket pitch in Clayton, near Hassocks. Burgess Hill Cricket Club postponed a match due to turf damage, and the county council is seeking a court hearing for eviction.

A British carpenter bought a 2002 truck and converted it into a motorhome with a kitchen, five beds, and antique furniture in 12 weeks. Similar truck-based motorhomes on the used market cost between €150,000 and €250,000. Official registration requires a technical inspection, and insurance premiums may be higher until then.

Residents of Yelling, Cambridgeshire, have reported multiple caravans arriving at Tower Farm, where only one additional pitch was approved. Huntingdonshire District Council is investigating the complaints, with locals expressing concern over lack of action on previous planning breaches.

Blaby District Council expressed disappointment after an appeal overturned a refusal for a traveller site. The site will be used for three years to meet accommodation needs. Previous applications for similar schemes were refused or withdrawn, including a plan for two caravan pitches and a dayroom rejected in May 2020.

Dave Ratcliffe, 81, died two weeks after being struck by a car at a caravan site in Whitchurch, Shropshire. Police reported that the couple had been visiting the site for three years, and this was meant to be their last season in the caravan. His wife stated they had run pubs and a caravan site together, and later worked as dog sitters.
