Yes and they base this knee jerk reaction on last year, when due to covid things went crazy for a while.If they think they were excessive numbers earlier , they are going to get a hell of a shock when the "Covid" door is opened !!![]()
If after 18.00hrs Jim, you would be safe, as most of the locals will have been fed.It must be nearly 10 years since we overnighted in EL, height barriers everywhere.
I tell a lie, we have overnighted in the Council Car park in Haddington ... but only by arriving on a Saturday evening so as not to be a nuisance with Council employees and shoppers.
Fair point Terry I will remember that next time I park in your lovely areaIf after 18.00hrs Jim, you would be safe, as most of the locals will have been fed.![]()
You will be missing out on fantastic coastline and countryside also lots of history in that area, is it not worth an email? surely !Certainly an area that I’ll avoid, plenty of more welcoming places all over the UK.
It’s a tiny percentage of the fantastic coastline and wonderful history all over the UK, so if their businesses are happy for the council to discourage tourists I see no reason to not just avoid the area. Elsewhere as businesses try to get back on their feet many councils are waking up to the fact that people using motorhomes are generally advantageous to their area and are actually doing things to help encourage visits,You will be missing out on fantastic coastline and countryside also lots of history in that area, is it not worth an email? surely !
Well then Bill you make a good case to put to them.It’s a tiny percentage of the fantastic coastline and wonderful history all over the UK, so if their businesses are happy for the council to discourage tourists I see no reason to not just avoid the area.

Even with the busy Summer last year we found some lovely spots in England, and councils are beginning to encourage motorhomes to stay, Blackpool, St.Annes and Helmsley just a few examples.Well then Bill you make a good case to put to them.
My fear is not what will happen up here, but in England.
EL are a law unto themselves up here.

Soon to be over run by people not being able to visit East Lothian, never thought of Blackpool as an attraction.Even with the busy Summer last year we found some lovely spots in England, and councils are beginning to encourage motorhomes to stay, Blackpool, St.Annes and Helmsley just a few examples.
Fair enough Bill. But what about Cornwall, the Lake District, and parts of Wales.Even with the busy Summer last year we found some lovely spots in England, and councils are beginning to encourage motorhomes to stay, Blackpool, St.Annes and Helmsley just a few examples.
Paul will be able to give more details but municipalities in Portugal were encouraged to put in Aires before the authorities cracked down on Free camping. The main town near Paul & Jenny were just opening a new aire when I was there this time last year. At least a bit of though had gone into it.But after what happened in Portugal, and possibly now Spain, one wonders what the future holds.
I really like the town where I was born, you may be surprised how attractive it is in places and the council’s change of stance towards motorhome users makes it even more so.Can I ask that you lye on your back and wave your legs and arms in the air like a dying fly

Again, these areas which are perhaps best avoided represent a very small part of the UK in total. Maybe the Portugal scenario will eventually come, personally I’d prefer not to be corralled into aires with dozens of others though such places can occasionally be useful if they have facilities. It is a concern that if aires become more common in the UK merely parking for the night in a layby for example may be outlawed.Fair enough Bill. But what about Cornwall, the Lake District, and parts of Wales.
I hope you are right Bill, and common sense prevails.

I agree totally Bill, hence my gripe with their name CAMPRA.Again, these areas which are perhaps best avoided represent a very small part of the UK in total.

Most people do love the place they belong as I do with East Lothian, but why lie down and accept what some short sighted people in the council are proposing hence the need to fire over valid points of view and try to change their opinion.I really like the town where I was born, you may be surprised how attractive it is in places and the council’s change of stance towards motorhome users makes it even more so.
Exactly so get yer email in man!I really like the town where I was born, you may be surprised how attractive it is in places and the council’s change of stance towards motorhome users makes it even more so.
