Are so called wild campers spoiling it for everyone ?

I heard this morning that the Height Restriction Barriers at Huttoft Car Terrace have once again been demolished.
I may be able to confirm whether this is indeed the case tomorrow as my current contract is based in the area.
I'll take a look over there if I get a chance.

More expense for the local tax payers then :Sad:

If it continues I can see the LAs saying enough is enough and barring access to all :Sad:

As I understand it they've been unofficially taken down by "Persons Unknown" but, as I said, I won't know for sure until tomorrow.
Getting them removed officially by way of protest or negotiation may have happened at some point but it's a sure fact that vandalising them will not make the Council back down.
How could they?
They would lose all credibility with the Public and that would not be allowed to happen.
Whatever my personal feelings about the barriers, IMO this sort of behaviour will destroy any chance the Protestors may have once had of achieving their aim.

It was in our local paper this week about huttoft again , and it was mentioned that if the barriers where damaged again there would be a chance that the terrace could be closed all together to all vehicles, so it looks as though these mindless selfish tossers have now spoilt it for Evan more people,
 
There were plenty there today taking advantage of the good weather.

I also noticed that someone had obviously had to effect an emergency nappy change then thoughtfully left it for someone else to clear up, along with the remnants of their picnic.

Marsh Yard also still shows signs of the previous incursion with broken chairs and bits of old awning dumped in the dunes and the grass.

What is it about some people that makes them into selfish, mindless a##eholes!! :Angry:

We have a few places that we go and every time we go we take away a bin liners full of crap left by others it only takes a few minutes to put it in the bin when you find one.
most of the crap left is the locals
We don't stay long maybe one or two nights and I would not consider my shelf a free loader/

totally agree . and when i stayed at the west side of loch lomond a few weeks back i even cleaned up the mess rubbish from idiots from cars and what ever, when i left the place was spotless , im sure there are some so called wild campers in motorhomes but im sure not a lot,, why dont they increase wild camping on some shore line and charge yes charge for 24 hours no more and no return within 7 days?? simple , could be done,, i would pay the same to park side of a beach on a dedicated parking bay for m/homes etc as i would in a camp site,, not about freeloading? i spend more in a local area than joe blogs pulling a bike of there cars with a flask and sandwiches, thats it with them . i always eat local fresh produce from local village or farm or yes a supermarket.
.. clean up move on..:thumb: talk to me if you dont then i have my wife and kids with me, who cares,,

[/HI]simple , could be done,, i would pay the same to park side of a beach on a dedicated parking bay for m/homes etc as i would in a camp site,, not about freeloading? i spend more in a local area than joe blogs pulling a bike of there cars with a flask and sandwiches, thats it with them . i always eat local fresh produce from local village or farm or yes a supermarket.

In some cases it is because the cost would outweigh the income and in others that any camping would adversely affect an area - neither of which would be in the public interest.

As I've said before, though, if anyone can identify a particular area where such a scheme would be economically viable why not take the argument to the appropriate authority and work with them to make it happen? LAs are highly unlikely to do it off their own bat as they have many other matters to deal with but if somebody takes a sound case to them most will, at least, consider it.
 
We are passing Loch Lomond later taking mother in law from Spain on a daytrip if I can't get parked because of motorhomes and caravans using the layby I won't be happy.:Angry:
