Just starting to look around and think about the new season...a CL in the next week or two with EHU.
I have just looked at 6 in the new format of booking, they all stated Electric if required, that's sounds as if it's not included and another said electric £1 and £2 coins.
Usually you pay one price, unit, people and electricity. Expecting to pay a bit more at this time of year.
Is it a new pricing policy or am I reading it wrong..

Our price of £12 is inclusive of electricity and Wi-Fi.
If a CL Owner wants to charge you for use of electricity, you are entitled to ask how much electricity you used. The CL Owner is not allowed (by law) to make a profit on the electricity they re-sell to you. This gets more complicated with CLs which are liable for VAT.
This means that CLs which charge separately for electricity must have a meter for each pitch. We don't have separate meters, which is why our pitch fee is all-inclusive.

The CL I recently booked near the tunnel for late April also stated 'Electric hookup available', but on the phone the owner said the declared pitch fee did indeed include electric. I also thought that maybe it was an additional fee but may just be a change of wording to confuse, even Birch hill uses this phrase.

Having just returned from a site,we saw selfish awning users with three bar electric fires on all day even when they were away from the van. These mindless minority will eventually make all of us pay extra whether on CC or Cl sites. Definite an extra charge should be made for awnings just for this reason.

I'm guessing you missed out the word "heaters" after awning there, F. Otherwise there'd be absolutely no justification for clobbering everyone who uses even the smallest porch awning (like us with absolutely no intention of heating it!) because of a "selfish" "minority" would there? 
( I agree there's no justification at all for leaveing an awning heater on when you're not using the awning, BTW!)
