Increase size of CLs?

Why Are CLs only allowed 5 vans, is it the government, local councils? If so perhaps the Club could lobby for an increase.

Isn't it time CLs were given permission to have more than 5 vans, many do anyway unofficially!

Perhaps it could be allowed to double to 10 vans, but only if they had a certain acreage?

I wouldn't like to see them over stuffed with vans but it would help both caraanners have more choice and scope and perhaps make it more financialily viable for owners.

Of course we do, and some of us probably visit many more than you do and see which ones are taking more than the allowed number of vans.

It perhaps would be less of an issue if we still had around 5000 CLs, as in times past, rather than the current 2500 and dwindling. It would at least solve the capacity issue if not the financial viability one.

If the cc had a push to encourage low cost (for both site owner and customer) basic CL's at least until they have a few years experience, we might get back to that position. 

 Putting in lecky, HS, and toilets cost so much for such little return it must be putting potential owners off if they think that's all needed

Well said,there are plenty of larger club sites and commercial sites and at the end of the day CL owners have the legitimate option of getting planning permission for a larger site.Leave CL's alone for those of us that have appreciated them for many years.

Agree.

Clearly opinions are divided but at the end of the day, CL's will remain at 5 vans in accordance with current law for the forseeable future.

Wholeheartedly agree with what you've both said. Cls need to stay at 5, there are loads of bigger commercial sites out there if that floats your boat.
