11% increase in storage costs

I notice from the latest leaflet regarding storage prices that my current all year storage location with the Caravan  Club will be increased in price by 11%Surprised. It will now be £500 per year.

There have been no improvements to facilities provided and it isn't fully booked, so how can the Club justify such an increase.

Anybody else noticed an over-inflation increase ?

I store at home. How does the CC storage price compare with others in the locality? What are its advantages, if any?

It is already substantially dearer but is classed as a CaSSOA Gold but my real gripe is that the price increase can't be due to demand as it is nowhere near full, nor have they provided any additional facilities, van wash or temp hook up to charge batteries  and inflation is nowhere near 11%

It doesn't bode well for 2017 holiday site fees

If it is substantially dearer than others nearby and does not have the facilities you want then I assume that there must be somethings in its favour?

Write your comments here...I pay £400 for a full year Cassoa gold site  , in East Midlands & we just had our first price increase for 3 years .

Unfortunately you'll have to pay the increase , unless you can find another suitable site , have a search on Google you might find another site . Good luck

We changed storage sites last year after a change of ownership on our previous site, didn't like the tone of the new owners letter.  Our new site is expanding and has new takers price up 20% Surprised.  No other gold site locally, not being on gold increases insurance premiums.  Pay up I reckon, no chance of storing at home - I don't want  to look at it never mind the neighbours Wink

The increase is reflected in the price increases for Marmite and Walkers crisps as well as fuel so I guess it's the price of freedom.

Yup, I said it'd happen. Brexit is the new climate change, something to slap Joe public with as a money spinnerYell

Cripes 11% is a hell of an increase though!  I only pay mates rates to a friend @ £250 a year so I guess that that is very good.

To further show the way the Club just increases prices with no regard to the current economic climate :-

My first years storage was £400, 2nd was £420, 3rd £450 and now £500. So a £100 increase in just three years and probably another whopping increase every year.

Makes you think whether it's worth carrying on motorhoming.
