I remember that day.
we ran out of milk and had to put white emulsion paint in our coffee.
some old stuff we found under the stairs Graham.....needed a good stir but if soon came white again. :thumb:Oooohhh, you likkle liar. A Yorkshireman would never pay that much for coffee whitener
you can park anywhere you like in Scarborough during normal 'office' hours...7am to 11pm. except for normal restrictions obviously.
there are very few individually marked on street parking bays (off street car parks have individual marked bays), they are mainly continuously marked parking 'lanes' running parallel the road so any length motorhome can park without fear of incurring two separate charges for over running your allotted 'bay'.
the town centre 'shopping streets' parking is by machine issued ticket (paid) and the surrounding area is by parking disc, free with time restrictions by area between 9am and 5pm. ...1hr, 2hr or 3hr.
further afield (residential areas) parking is free and unrestricted.
what the article didn't say is the council are to allow overnight SLEEPING at Scalby mills car park for a small fee (still to be price fixed I believe), but anyone who has used the carpark will know it aint the biggest park in the town by any means, but it's a start.
Filey and Whitby are also to get designated overnight places too.
personally, if I didn't live here i wouldn't bother coming.
becoming grubby and run down with a growing 'vacant shop and office' trend.
as for christmas lights....the shops do a far better display than the council has for years, very minimal and not in the least festive.

Wild camping? 15 Quid a Night is a bit dear for wild camping isn't it?(snip)
TIP 2--- the "ship inn" , sewerby has wild camping in their car park which overlooks the cliffs and bridlington bay, and is right next door to sewerby hall and grounds, and the "little train" running down to brid centre---it's one of these where they expect you to buy a pint or 2 and or a meal---and everynight has a different theme!!!!
Let us see how we fare with these "designated" sites. Who knows, if we behave and show ourselves to be tidy and civilised we might, just might see some aires being set up in the future.
However, if we abuse these proposed facilities we deserve what we get.

Who are these renegade motorhomers?
Everyone - and I mean everyone - who I've met with a motorhome has been jolly considerate to those around them and the environment, which is something you can't always say about people in tents and/or caravans - although most of those are great people too.
I'm totally baffled as to why any seaside resort (e.g. Scarborough, Filey) would want to turn away a potentially profitable visitor. It's not as though motorhomes are cheap. Most people with them have a few bob to spend in cafes, restaurants, pubs, supermarkets, museums, etc.
Who are these renegade motorhomers?
They are out there. The effect of every antisocial motorhomer is multiplied by ten. Those of us who are law abiding and considerate whilst in the majority go unheard of.

But ARE they REALLY out there?
It seems odd that we've all driven thousands of miles in our MHs and yet never spotted these Abominable Snow Men of the motorhome world.
I reckon if you overnighted on the banks of Lock Ness you'd have more chance of sighting the Lock Ness Monster than spotting an inconsiderate motorhomer.
Heck, many motorhomers (our good selves included) like to leave anywhere we stop better than it was when we arrived, e.g. clearing up rubbish.
Don't get me wrong. I am sure there must be some bad 'uns in the wild, but we must be talking 1 in every 1000. If that is the case this 1 in a thousand are getting around as every car park in the country seems to have problems with undesirable motorhomers.
Thank you for your email. I have myself in the past been an enthusiastic owner of a Caravan. I am 100percent in favour of caravanning with Caravans and Motor Homes. Sutton Place is not a Caravan site. And nobody objects to a Motor Home stopping for a couple of days on the seafront. The situation is that we have several Camper Vans who have now been parked together for in some cases 7weeks. They are virtually living there using the facilities far beyond the usual usage of people just stopping for a little while. Razors have been left in the Lavatories, washing IS draped over the bushes, the rubbish bins are used as dustbins, and so on.

What basic freedom to park at night? There is no such thing is there? Councils have been able, for years, to make parking restrictions which they think appropriate for their particular area so what legislation would give such a freedom?I suggest that we post and vote on the website. Even if you dont use Scarborough it is a council taking away [HI]a basic freedom to park at night[/HI]. One gets away with it and the others follow.
Please contribute sensiblyoh:

Incidentally, I have put in a FoI request to Scarborough Council asking for details of "the information (including references to any legislation) on which the council based its decision that planning permission would be needed and how that overrides the provisions of the Caravan Sites and Control of Development Act 1960 (Paragraph 11 of Schedule 1)".
