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.

Sadly for some, their choice (and nothing wrong with it) has currently been removed one way or another. All I meant was that there are far too many folks having to stay in UK this year, that usually spend a good few weeks, months elsewhere. It means that those of us who usually don’t book anything are having to be a bit more organisedš

Posted on 21/03/2021 13:29 by peedeeI 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
I have never had a problem with them both at the channel tunnel and my local hospital car parks which are all fitted with them. Same with the Aires that use them. The ones at our hospitals are equipped with intercoms and you can speak to security should you have a problem.

So the hospital ones can have problems? which is fine if a local "intercom is so fitted ,i thought you were inimating it could be rolled out in most parking areas ,cannot see an "intercom"working in areas remote from such a system, hence whats happened here

If we can help out small businesses rather than multi nationals with shareholders we will.

Posted on 21/03/2021 10:17 by CornersteadyBut the perceived need by who? Is it the needs of MHs or the needs of local residents who will fund theses needs.
If I were a local resident why would I want public money spent on supplying MHs with a free/cheap place to stay?

I was under the impression that P&R were to encourage visitors to a town but preventing a clog up of traffic. The installation of height barriers would seem discriminatory unless they wish to encourage motorhomes into towns but not cars. Unlikely, I think. I don't want preferential treatment, merely be treated equally rather than be regarded as a pariah. Adopt a "Flying Dutchman" approach and motorhomes will find their own solutions which is what , apparently, is exercising people's ire on here. Make them welcome and you go a long way to solving your problem.
P.S. I'm on a real campsite next month btw.

Until you have been to the less wet, but the still rolling hills of Hertfordshire,where we live with , as many have said , all the facilities as well ,it is not at all similar ,but then as we have got older we have, as our neighbours who moved from rural Lancashire a couple of years ago to be nearer their children , would visit oop north but not live there again
