Parking Conundrum Resolved - Where can I park in Dulverton (Exmoor)

[Bewildered]

GET THE MESSAGE?? All three car parks don't want you. The 1525kg limit is rather strange given that half the locals drive SUV's.

So I emailed the council and suggested allowing parking somewhere! they got back with the following:-

Hello Nigel

Thank you for taking the time to share your recent suggestion. All feedback we receive is very important to us.

These 'No Motorhomes' signs have been added to our car park signage and is not in line with our Off Street parking Places Order, so they will be removed and the car parks monitored to ensure that they do not reappear.

I'm sorry that you felt you could not use our car parks due to this signage, when visiting our area.

Kind regards
Somerset West and Taunton

Well done. All you need now is to be downplated to 1525kg

If you know Dulverton it’s not really a place most would take a motorhome apart from the campsite Exmoor house which is just a stroll away from the town and good pubs.

Too many places being ruined for the majority of us, by the selfish stupid actions of a minority, who the media choose to report on, and ignore the rest of us,
same 5h17, different day.

Even my Passat estate is more than 1525kgs.
That piece of nonsense was written in probably when Morris Minors and Austin 7's were the order of the day.

you'd be surprised how many councils have weight limits that legally prevent half the vehicles parking.I enquired where I could park a MH of Chelmsford council n Essex , received no reply , complained ,to be told that they had ignored me as they thought I was a "traveller looking for sites without height restrictions" .Whilst perusing there rules & regs I found that anything with an unladen weight of 2 Tonnes was prohibited from paring on any of there sites.. That's many mpv's most land rovers,Range rovers, ML's, etc.
