CL site numbers

While we stick to a 60 odd year antiquated rule things will only get worse. To make a CL viable they need more than 5 units. Its a cash business mainly. With less pitches and more vaners ( just see the scramble for places this summer) people will take more vans its just nature.  Either put up with it or get the authorities to look at the 5 rule.

And then on another thread you are blamming the club for not increasing numbers?

Do you think that CMC are actively lobbying for an increase? Now would seem a good time to do so

My views are consistent. The 5 rule CMC and 5 + 10  for CCC are antiquated. The Cl network will continue to decline as owners move to other ways. Over occupancy will continue to rise and no one monitors it ( the club, local auth or Nat Park). That is reality.

I am currently at a CL in Derbyshire. We chose the site carefully and read all reviews. At the moment there are eleven vans on site. We deliberately chose not to go to Clubsites in these Covid-19 times. We feel cheated that we are on this site with so many others. I will report it. It is possible that three of the vans are under a separate agreement with the Farmer, but even so there are eight vans, three that should not be here.

"Three that shouldn't be here"... and one of them is yours.

Like most companies these days the highest cost is normally staff   and those who will flout any regulation/rules know they are not likely to  be "caught" with very few staff to monitor them 

The clubs CL inspectors are i understand  ,are "volunteers" on an expences only basis?

to get any change to legislation it would need all "interested "?parties to be involved

we stayed on an Adults only site last week that used to be two cls,  and neither club were interested before , as it was to be Adults only cls/cs but the local authority agreed to make it into a commercial site so now has 15pitches

The local authorities look at pitches and the 15 coincides with that of thy CCC. There is no difference today between vans and tents in their books. The position will only accelerate as C:l move to commercial with no difficulty. The difference between 5 & 15 means they can be sustainable.

When we arrived there were four vans. We had booked and we made the fifth van on site. Then people just kept coming. Are you suggesting we should leave!
