THE DECISION to ban motorhomes and campervans from Aberystwyth’s south promenade was greeted with dismay by their owners.
Percy Broome and Mary Shepherd from Crewe said this move could affect their decision on whether or not to return to the area.
“If we come again, obviously we will have to find somewhere else to park, but it may be that we don’t come again because of this,” said Percy.
“Motorhome users spend a lot of money at shops and restaurants on the seafront, so I think if overnight parking is banned a lot of these businesses will suffer.”
Percy has been a frequent visitor to Aberystwyth in recent years.
He has brought Mary with him this year for her first visit, but she said she wouldn’t want to return without a place to park their motorhome.
She said: “I love it here, it’s the first time I’ve been here and I’d love to come back, but if there is nowhere to park overnight then I don’t think we’ll bother.”
Bertie and Linda Brookes from Worcestershire are also regular visitors to the area and they say a change in parking rules wouldn’t affect their decision to come back.
“We’ve taken our campervan all over Devon, to places like Exmouth and Seaton, and we’ve never had a problem parking on the promenade there,” said Bertie, whose father is from nearby Machynlleth.
“I hope they don’t change the rules as the revenue they would lose would be phenomenal, but we love it here, we’ve been coming here too long to stop.”
Linda said they were more than happy to make alternative arrangements for their campervan should overnight parking on the promenade be banned.
“We’ll respect whatever decision is made and if that means we find somewhere else to park, we will do that,” she said.
“Because we’ve been coming here for so long, we’ve made friends here who have told us we are free to park on their drives if we need to.”
Another motorhome user, who did not want to be named, said he did not see why overnight parking had to be banned.
He said: “If people are parking here for several months then I can understand wanting to move them on, but I don’t see the harm in parking here for a couple of nights.
“If people are clean and are not dumping their rubbish everywhere then I really don’t see the problem with them parking here.”

I agree with all of that, but what arguments swayed the council to make their decision?

Nimby's and local business interests plus a few people giving everyone a bad name and thus the excuse for the the Nimbys to kick up a stink. And the tabloids. Miserable lot

Phew, what a read.

Thanks for posting

Nice!

If it was travellers parked up would you say the same?

I thought the story about the goats was more interesting.

 

[iceni]

I fully sympathise with the arguments and love to park in these places as long as its not in fron of somones house or acusing an obstruction. Having a view of the sea is quite lovely

However I always have to smile when someone uses the argument that local business will lose out of we are not allowed to park. For sure a few people will go to restaurants but in my opinion the vast majority of MHers want to eat their own food in their own van and may just go out for the odd meal once or twice or grab an ice cream of a fish and chps but in the grand sceme of things compared with all the 100s of non MHers in cars with kids wanting this and that, we represent a small minority and not worth considering serioulsy where parking is considered. I cannot see that we will have a devastating effect on the local economy if they ban us from parking which is why the vast majority of seaside towns dont like us.

I think the reason councils dont like us is because of the fact that we are seem as parking up, taking up 2 spaces (as opposed to paying on the local camp sites) and sitting there eating our own grub blocking he views from the Hotels and NOT supporting the local economy.

Thats my veiw and I am just being reaslistic not disagreeing with why we shouldnt be aloowed to allowed to park - just seeing it how the coucil may be seeing it.

What do others think

 

[bigfoot]

There are areas near me which are ideal for overnighting,away from houses. I have been in contact with a local councillor for years regarding provision of an aire. The only campsites are a 5 unit cl and the Caravan Club site which isn't open year round. There was a municipal site nearby to the CC site in the Country park,but it closed many years ago and is still fallow.

Well unfortunately I witness free loading in it rawest form last weekend and can sympathise with the locals and councils on this now.
freeloading tossers came in after 6pm and were thare till abut 1pm late at night toilet cartridge dumped over sea wall.
Gray water running out of van not that bad a crime
filed litter bin with there shite out of there van
very proud of the fact they have never paid to park never use the local shops
never use the pub up the hill.
they watched out for parking warden to turn up then go up the hill park on the road.
return use the aria same rotten weigh till dark and dump there shite
we at least paid the £6 pound's for 24hr parking work it out only £12 pound for the weekend
went to the pub meal got merry used the pubs drain to dump our rubbish went home with us
also on Saturday used the local shops beer sig's
its them having a 2014 plate van that gets me surly they could afford the £6 pounds
free loders
