It's pretty obvious really but this year is heading the same way as 2020 in terms of staycation says Nick Lomas to the BBC.

If one chooses a MH for touring then don't expect special treatment just because one wants a cheap stay funded by local funds?
Posted on 21/03/2021 10:19 by peedeeWhat is the difference between a height barrier and one that raises to allow entry? Both do the same job of restricing entry. Car parks that charge could equally be fitted with ANPR barriers that automatically lift to allow entry but wont let you out until you have paid at the machine with a card. There are Aires in France which employ such barriers and operate quiet sucessfully.

As Advised by our county police team who seem to be the point of contact for ANPR country wide (not sure UK wide)until all ANPR cameras are checked for accuracy , which is possible in the near future (road pricing?) they cannot be used in court as evidence in any disputes,which could rule out being installed in some places
I have been advised of three places (not LA fitted) local to us that they have had to be removed as inacurate registrations have resulted in expensive disputes with vehicle owners

Posted on 21/03/2021 11:06 byI am happy to spend in places I love. What I am less happy with is seeing a grasping and grudging attitude towards those who do bring in the their pounds or euros and its so marked in the UK that its one of the things I like best about taking my business elsewhere. For example I can spend 3 months in mainland Europe and spend little or nothing in all that time on car parking, try doing that for a day here.

I can only remember paying once to park in France and that was on the poshest underground car park I've ever seen in Saint Tropez.
