Very new. I took the photos in the morning, by the time we went back late afternoon, a sign had been put on it. No parking on the harbour itself but allowed in the car park on entrance except for summer months.

I have put a call in to the Harbour masters office they are going to find out the cost of kit, installation and supplier. I am thinking it would be great to Local authorities to fit them in strategic places. If the cost is not stupid maybe we could set up a go fund me or something and the motorhome community might want to contribute?

I would be willing to do so if parking (overnight) facilities were provided nearby.

That’s a great idea. Please post on here to let us know if you do get any information back.

I'd be happy to contribute but fitting is easy maintaining and cleaning could be an issues especially with some of the behaviour we have witnessed this year.

My point is that if these are located in each town or village then as long as they are advertised then the corvid newbies may just stop dumping everywhere and use them.

A bit big for the garden. I couldn't get any impression of scale from the small picture - I certainly can now. Still a beautiful (bigger) animal .

Lots of info about costs and suppliers on the CAMpRA FB/website. They are campaigning for aires in the U.K. If you aren’t a member, consider joining. Lots of local councils, Tourist Boards, NT, etc have been contacted and they are also in discussions with CampingCarparks about them setting up in the U.K.

They must be a standard off the shelf unit, Were recently back from a THS at Porth Beach Holiday Park, and they've installed three of them near the entrance to the site. I didn't notice water supply though.

Well you couldn’t make this up, the Harbour Master, a really nice guy called Len Campbell has retired on Friday afternoon, never said a word ! I have now been told that the Community Authority were responsible for it but you cannot get through to speak to anyone at present due to COVID! Emergency calls only. So on hold for present.
I will give it a few weeks and try again.

Did you ever find out installation costs?

 

[Otter Spotter]

No must admit, the new guy didn’t get back to me but I did a little research and anywhere from £750 for very basic to £5000 for complete unit with lids etc.
