Royal Victoria Country Park in Netley has reported criminal damage to gate locks and the removal of signage in fields reserved for organised caravan rallies. Nine locks had to be replaced. The park, owned by Hampshire County Council, temporarily locks these fields ahead of rallies to prepare them, a practice that has been in place since the 1980s and supports the park financially.

Cornwall Council has partially refused a planning application by Seasons Holiday PLC to expand Bude Coastal Resort with up to 100 holiday lodges. The council approved 58 lodges on fields B, C, and D, replacing existing glamping tents and brick cottages. However, it refused 42 lodges on fields E–G, citing that the development would encroach on undeveloped agricultural land and harm the landscape corridor separating Bude, Stratton, and Flexbury, leading to settlement coalescence.

Bridgend council reported that clean-up and restoration at Litchard Playing Fields are almost finished after an unauthorised caravan encampment left last week. Council staff and contractors spent the weekend cleaning and disinfecting affected areas. The play area is expected to reopen today following a final safety inspection.

The Kia Sportage Hybrid was named 'Best Car for Caravans up to 1500kg' at the 2026 What Car? Tow Car Awards in the UK. The HEV GT-Line S AWD variant, with a 1,510kg towing capacity and 6.4L/100km fuel economy, outperformed rivals in the compact SUV segment. Testing involved stability, handling, and emergency braking assessments with a Swift caravan loaded to 85% of the car's kerb weight. The award adds to the Sportage's strong 2026 performance, with over 21,000 UK sales year-to-date.

The court fined each man and ordered costs and compensation, totaling £1,204 per person.
