This may have been mentioned and I have missed it, but apparently according to Those happy days, on YouTube he was rattling on that all motorhome parking has been banned along the long road in Scarborough from today, is this right and why haven't we heard more about it?
Scarborough ban
- Thread starter chaser
- Start date
You missed it!
Scarborough Council have announced they do not want tourists in town spending their filthy money.
The long term plans is to force all the local shops, pubs and restaurants to close, so that the town is only used by the locals.
Their next target will be the furnished holiday lets.

Due to this rule, last week we drove through Scarbrough without stopping and went to Whitby where we spent several hundred pounds over 5 days.
Scarborough's loss is Whitby's gain.

It's been banned overnight since mid September along Marine Drive, also the Whitby to Sandsend road.

No worries, Chas, from your posts about the excellent breakdown and accommodation service you received from LV it I'd rather have broken down and been stuck for a week in France than in Scarborough.Yes sorry , it must have been when I was wrestling with a broken gearbox in France

I thought Whitby banned MH’s overnight in the only town car park many years ago, has this been relaxed?
I heard you could park for small charge up by the abbey but not sure if that was temporary
No problem during the day, just no overnighting. Parking spaces suitable for motorhomes are on the north end of Marine Drive.
Must admit we did not try the only car park actually in town, but there is a perfectly good campsite on the other side of the river walking distance into the town.
Isn't it that you can park during the day but not overnight?
Personally I don't want them banning day time parking (Ive seen comments wanting vans also banned from the South Cliff area) as I visit my parents memorial bench and park on the esplanade for that. On most visits I patronise the Clock Café as that was a favourite of my parents in their later life.
When I visited earlier this year, I stayed on a site in Cayton and cycled into Scarborough via the south cliff and their bench. There were quite a few vans parked on the roads near the south cliff but its hard to tell if they were only stopping off or staying

I haven’t read it myself buy a friend who has overnighted there was telling me about the ban and now the council are looking at cancelling the ban. Perhaps a check on the latest news would be best by anyone who would use it.

We were in whitby/sandsend 2 weeks ago but in a car
I couldn't find any signs to tell you there was no overnighting on the seafront road into sandsend, there were 6 motorhomes there and a pop top camper when I arrived on a friday morning at 6am...some on ramps so definitely been there at least one night
I thought maybe I had heard the news wrong but obviously not
The parking payment machines had nothing informative on them either and I guess they will be covered over as usual at the end of the month when charges stop.
We stayed there
