“Whitby, like Scarborough, has been inundated with hundreds of campervans over the summer period. One day, there were 46 campervans in a row down there.'
“There is signage saying ‘no parking’ on the sea wall, but it is absolutely nose to tail with campervans. The locals are going crackers and if you needed to get an emergency vehicle down there you would struggle.Coun Tony Randerson, the cabinet member for neighbourhoods, replied, stating: “Yeah, it is a problem borough-wide, not just in localised areas. Myself and Coun Roberta Swiers have had no end of problems up on Filey Road with campervans.
Coun Randerson added some campervan owners had also been spotted “pouring the contents of their toilet waste down the drains”. “On the Marine Drive, if they pay their dues, they are entitled to stop for as long as they have paid for. For the life of me, and I’ll keep saying this, when you pay £30,000 or £40,000 for a campervan but they can’t afford to pay a £10, £15, £20 fee to park in a properly recognised park is beyond me.County Council about this and there ain’t no easy answer, unfortunately. I just don’t know what the answer is.
He added: “I would rather support it being disposed of in the correct way, than in the way you said it was being disposed of. So I’m going to stand up and congratulate you because it is about time we helped to deal with the issue rather than just moaning about it.”Meanwhile, a campervan owner himself, Coun Guy Coulson, said in his experience Scarborough Council was “missing a big trick”.
