That’s not what Barry stated.
What Barry and many of us think is the problem is exaggerated to suit the ends of councillors who seek to impose draconian measures upon us. How many times have they been asked for evidence of what they report with absolutely none whatsoever, and this in an era were mobile phones are ubiquitous. Surely if you are making such a claim you should be able to provide evidence, other than the word of someone. And how many times have we seen people with interests in campsites being involved in these decisions.
Also does one or two transgressions really warrant closing car parks to the vast majority who used them with care, and valued them. The matter of cassette emptying may or may not be exaggerated, but the issue of dog fowling in car parks is there for all to see. Have you ever seen a sign banning dogs from carparks, and if this was done, would you expect dog owners to agree this was reasonable, i very much doubt it. There would be a public outcry. I only have to walk 100 yards from my home and walk to the next village to see the litter thrown from cars everywhere. The fact is there are dirty selfish people throughout society, from all walks of life, and the vast majority don’t own motorhomes.
It’s a sad fact that some simply don’t like us, that’s their default position. And in many cases it’s based on reports in the media and online, which are based on unverified reports with absolutely no evidence whatsoever. But neither Barry or myself think we don’t cause problems due to selfish behaviour. We have both experienced it ourselves, but I can honestly say I have never seen the contents of a cassette dumped anywhere. Yet when you read such articles it seems it’s common practice by us, now those two things just don’t add up.
