That's what they do in Belgium.Compel councils to provide Aires within their towns for the use of Motorhomes.

The sentiment is well meant but it isn't going to happen. The subject has been much discussed here and the best advice seems to be it needs to be tackled at a local level. If you know of somewhere which might make a good aire try and persuade the local council to make it one, but given the pressures on local council budgets don't expect too much. Also, any proposal needs to address the fears local people will have over "travellers" arriving en masse.Compel councils to provide Aires within their towns for the use of Motorhomes.

A well meaning if possibly naive suggestion torn to shreds by you pedantic know alls (nothing's). I would not blame this funster if they never used this site again..... Aggrieved and disappointed Toby.

Which post(s) shows a lack of courtesy to the poster? All the negative comments have been regarding the petition and have been accurate.What about basic courtesy to other funsters? Doesn't that matter on this site? Words can sound very harsh when basic courtesies are ignored... Toby Trux
A welcome facility but I think "practical" is the word I would use, rather than "sensible".There is a car park called Ram meadow in Bury St Edmunds which has designated a motorhome area. There are toilets next door, and its right in the middle of this beautiful town next to the abbey gardens as well.
A sensible council I would say.

If that is aimed at me please tell me where have I been rude.Yes the basic courtesy needs to be addressed by yourself after being rude to people who post the truth on here, maybe the original poster might not use this site again, I use it for information about motorhomes and to date have not been rude to anyone, however, I have paid for this year but may not return if rudeness prevails.

I agree, the OP is new here and one or two of the responses were very blunt to put it mildly. It's FUN folks!A well meaning if possibly naive suggestion torn to shreds by you pedantic know alls (nothing's). I would not blame this funster if they never used this site again.....

Post #7 above: "This stupid idea is still doing the rounds then." Which is rude about the petition but how do you think the OP interprets that remark? That they are guilty of propagating stupidity? That would be how I would read it.And if any of the posts are aimed at me please explain where I have been rude to any poster?
I may well have been rude about the petition but make no apology for that because it's ridiculous.
Then look at the first sentence of your fourth paragraph in post #7. If that isn't directly rude to the OP then we must be on different planets.

Let's have a look at post #5, seeing as it was mine:Whilst posts #5 and #6 say the same thing, the tone is totally different. If you dissagree with a post or even think it is idiotic, a more pleasent tone works a whole lot better.
Then clearly this is a fine example of how people can and do read things differently. It was not suggested either that you criticised the poster or thought he was idiotic, but the very tone of the reply was, shall we say, totally different to that of #6 - accurateLet's have a look at post #5, seeing as it was mine:
"The first post on this thread is blank" - completely accurate.
"but it appears from the second that it may refer to this idiotic petition." - completely accurate (including that the petition is idiotic).
" If that is the case then may I suggest searching older threads which demonstrate why it is a half baked, inaccurate, waste of time." - accurate advice.
None of those statements denigrate the poster or suggest he is idiotic, only that the petition is. They are also no more unpleasant in tone than the statement "Compel councils to provide Aires within their towns for the use of Motorhomes." (posted without further explanation and appearing at first glance to be an instruction).

Yes, the tone differed (mainly in that it was so much briefer) but that does not mean that it was unpleasant.Then clearly this is a fine example of how people can and do read things differently.

It is obvious from your sig block the amount of work you have put into this topic and can fully understand how starting yet another ( what seems to be pointless) petition actually hinders rather than helps the situation and understand your frustration. Writing on forums can be difficult to express yourself fully especially when exasperated and your words can often be misinterpreted.Yes, the tone differed (mainly in that it was so much briefer) but that does not mean that it was unpleasant.
I've lost count of the number of times I've commented on this petition and others in the more wordy tone of #6. I've even published papers on the facts (and a template for approaching councils) on my Motorhome Parking web site. It gets a bit wearing repeating the same facts time and again
