I see your point, must be hard not being able to fly, certainly limits the possibilities, no intercontinental travel at all, ever.

in France there are so many aires that people rarely stay more than one day, mostly they move on to the next one. .

The BIG difference in France is that the French respect the Aires. Thay are always clean and tidy so that is why they have over 3000. The UK would have many more if it was not for the minority of freeloaders who abuse the sites and cause problems for us all. I give credit to the council's who have tried to offer overnight stays but don't blame them for closures either. I can NEVER see the UK having the freedom for travel as they do in France.Having never use a French Aires is there a similar problem over there if so how do they sort it out or are they so out of the way that people really just use it for a nights sleep ??? Are the policed regularly is there a limit to the number of hours /days allowed in one aires, are there better facilities provided on French Aires OR is it that some UK motorhomers just could not care less when they are on home turf but take more care when abroad - it does annoy me when the few spoil something for the majority

The TRO does still include a prohibition of sleeping camping and cooking but I have been assured by the Street Scene Manager that this will only be invoked in the case of anyone 'setting up camp', i.e. the 'parking not camping' rule applies.

the surge of the blue badges abusing there use
If I recall correctly, overnighting by motorhomes at Upton was suspended in the first place because of blue badge holders staying for free to the detriment of others.I understand that the Blue Badge concession allowing free parking will not extend to the motorhome overnight tariff, which seems quite reasonable to me.

What a good idea :thumb::thumb:Trouble is, it's not just blue badge holders, loads of people abuse parking restrictions, just walk past a school at drop off/ pick up times and see all the cars parked on corners, double yellow lines, blocking people's driveways and actually on the zigzags, then try and point out what dangers they are causing and you get a mouthful of abuse, and then supermarket car parks where people park where they like, disabled bays with no badge showing, parent and toddler bays with no kids. It seems to be a British disease, do what you want and stuff everybody else.
I thought Motorhomers were better behaved, but it seems there are some that aren't.
[HI]I think the council parking enforcement section should be able to give out enndorseable tickets for thoughtless parking. It might make people think when they have their licence at stake. 4 parking tickets, disqualified for a year![/HI]

That was certainly one of the reasons given to me for enforcing the original TRO which included a one hour no parking period in the middle of the night. The period before and after the Western Motorhome Show was mentioned specifically.If I recall correctly, overnighting by motorhomes at Upton was suspended in the first place because of blue badge holders staying for free to the detriment of others.
