I'm on the motorhome list and over the last couple of days there have been messages about the council there stopping motorhomes parking up in the area - will see if I can dig out some of the messages.

found the message about Suffolk coastal parking
this is what has been in the local papers in Suffolk in the lastcouple of days - posted by a lister on the Motorhome list.
MOTOR homes are to be banned from parking on a sea wall after
complaints that the vehicles spoilt the views of the Suffolk coast.
The ban will operate 24 hours a day at Slaughden, on the southern
edge of Aldeburgh, and there will be a ban on vehicles of any type
parking overnight.
The action will be taken by the district council after a steady
increase in the number of camper vans parking on the sea wall, up to
60 on one night, and allegations that the vans damage the wall and
owners empty chemical toilets in the sea.
Felicity Bromage, chairman of the town appearance committee, told a
town council meeting: "New signs will go up saying it is illegal to
park overnight and we have been asked urgently to support this move
as the district council are extremely keen to get notices up by the
beginning of June.
"I want us to give our full support to stop overnight parking on the
sea wall."
She added that the free overnight parking at Aldeburgh was publicised
on an internet camping site and this attracted people to the area.
Andy Smith, the district council's cabinet member for planning,
said: "The problems caused by motor homes parking on the loose-
surfaced sea wall at Slaughden, and also overnight stopping in the
Slaughden area, have been discussed at meetings held by this council
with the town council.
"Concerns were expressed about traffic congestion, increased erosion
on the sea wall, noise and litter generated by people in an area
which is next to an historic Martello Tower and an internationally
important estuary.
"There have been regular reports of more than 30 vehicles being
parked overnight, the equivalent of a small caravan park.
"It is a shame that we have had to take this action, but from late
May signs will go up barring all vehicles from parking at Slaughden
overnight and motor-homes from parking on the sea wall itself."
