Motorhomes and campervans could get more overnight parking spots under a big change. Motorhomes and campervan owners could get a big boost, with f our out of five drivers have been left unhappy over the current parking structure for larger vehicles. The Labour Party governemnt has been urged to act and introduce more motorhome and campervan parking spots across the UK. The Campaign for Real Aires, which commissioned the survey, has warned the lack of suitable parking infrastructure is costing local economies. Steve Haywood, managing director of the Campaign for Real Aires, explained that welcoming motorcaravans to an area “can be a hugely positive move”. To park, caravan owners pay an average of 拢51 per day to park with local businesses.

He added: “It gives us some really solid statistical evidence that we can share with local authorities and businesses to help them understand the importance of trying to accommodate this new style of tourism and the clear financial advantage to local communities that embrace this type of tourism.” Mr Haywood noted: “More councils are seeing the benefits of providing facilities, instead of suffering the cost of enforcement and bans, not to mention the loss of potential revenue to businesses. “Every council that has operated a 12-month trial ‘aires’ has been successful and made the overnight parking permanent.” A spokesperson for the Local Government Association said: “Policies around overnight motorcaravan parking and the provision of facilities are a matter for local councils.” Research suggests that over 80% of motorcaravan owners would be inclined to visit new areas and contribute economically, particularly during off-peak periods, if such facilities were made available. A previous scheme proposed that motorhomes and campervans could park in urban centres for up to 48 hours at a fixed cost.
