Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National parks want to know what we think. The survey is here:
bit.ly/MotorhomersSurvey
It is case sensitive. I pointed out that I have already paid via tax so why do they think it's fair to charge me again? Just my take on it. :)
 
I started got as far as question 2, and then thought it is about what we do, not about the park, scam!
 
I don't think it's a scam. There is a question at the end asking for an email address but it's voluntary and they say it's if you wish to be kept up to date and to be entered into a prize draw as a reward for completing it.

If there is a possibility of aire type facilities being provided then it is reasonable for the potential provider to attempt to assess custom and possible profitably. I remember a Northern Ireland council doing the same about a year or so ago. I never saw the results; I think I may now aska the council how their's turned out. Maingate or Trevskoda, do you know?

Do we want aires or not? Many don't, I do.

I think , if acted upon , it is beneficial to most of us to complete this survey .
Loch Lomond have made some efforts to improve the national park . From what I've read on here they have got it wrong at times . If we tell them what we want they may actually listen ?

I apologise for a momentary deviation from this thread, but my comments don’t warrant a separate topic.

Quote from Maureen and Tom,
“If there is a possibility of aire type facilities being provided then it is reasonable for the potential provider to attempt to assess custom and possible profitably. I remember a Northern Ireland council doing the same about a year or so ago. I never saw the results; I think I may now aska the council how their's turned out. Maingate or Trevskoda, do you know? “

I was involved (still am) in lobbying that council and had a hand in proof reading the survey. Whilst I did not see the specific results, the outcome was very positive. The council are looking at providing 9 parking locations, 3 of which should have services. However it is subject to a legal challenge from a caravan site, so stalled at present, but I would be hopeful that we will get a result eventually.

The situation in Ireland as a whole is that aires are gaining a foothold. I know of at least 2 that have opened in the last month and a third under construction. The pubs have cottoned on too and an increasing number are offering parking for a small fee or free with food or drink being bought.

The answer to this survey is to complete it and keep lobbying as no one else will do it for us and we have to overcome the negative press to boot.

Completed the survey, seems a fairly well put together piece of work. The important bit for me is the comments section were a proper fleshed out reply can be given.

I may have posted to quickly, after reading comments, I will complete the survey, thank you.

Done, still think it wanted to much private info.

I have been on line for over 21 years and never yet posted a spam link. I have frankly better things to do with my time.

Just completed this survey.
Here’s hoping that they listen and act upon our reasonable concerns.

I agree hairydog, this is well overdue.
Normally nobody asks us what we need or think,
Hopefully this will become a blueprint for others.
Fingers crossed.
