lazarus Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 I was walking along the path in Rhyl and saw a yellow notice tied to the lampposts so took a look and it was an order from the local council implementing a ban on overnight parking by motorhomes ,welcome to Rhyl! Rhyl is not exactly helston more hell hole every other shop is closed or a charity shop so why be anti motorhomes the town needs all the visitor income it can get. Although the town needs levelling The prom is actually very nice,and a pleasant walk! I did take a pic but can't work out how to post it ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulmold Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 I've seen motorhomes and caravans parked along the prom for weeks on end, even putting gas cylinders outside, a sure sign of long-term staying. It had to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It had to come. Are they from the motorhome fraternity or the Traveller/Gypo? ;-) ....... That's the trouble now days *-).........the authorities are reluctant to challenge the latter......so ban the former in the hope of curing the problem.......as if the the latter gives a sh*t either way..........they'll just dump it anywhere they like :-| .........

Just individuals, not parked together, so presume not travelling but likely homeless migrants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek Uzzell Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 This 2013 thread form the Wildcamping forum refers to motorhome parking at Rhyl https://www.wildcamping.co.uk/forums/motorhome-chat/26335-rhyl-positive-news-mh-parking.html#post277924 However, by 2014, a less ‘welcoming’ attitude had evidently become prevalent in West Wales seaside towns, particularly regarding seafront parking. http://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/wales-news/campervans-motorhomes-face-tighter-parking-7034514 Herefordshire Council provides information about motorhome parking on this wenpage https://www.herefordshire.gov.uk/transport-and-highways/parking/car-parks-council For motorhome parking at Ross-on-Wye the Red Meadow car park is suggested. However this car park has been occupied repeatedly by ‘travellers’ causing Ross-on-Wye residents (especially those who live nearby) to be right royally peeved, as not only do the travellers take up many of the parking spaces, they invariably leave junk in their wake that needs to be cleared up. To deter travellers from overnight parking, installation of a height-barrier at Red Meadow car park’s main entrance has been approved. A financial contribution to the installation-cost will be made by Herefordshire Council (who get the revenue from the parking charges) but the remainder of the bill will be picked up by Ross-on-Wye ratepayers. These links relate http://councillors.herefordshire.gov.uk/ieDecisionDetails.aspx?ID=4444 http://councillors.herefordshire.gov.uk/documents/s50041788/Report%20Red%20Meadow%20barrier.pdf and it will be noted that, although it has been the travelling community that has been the problem historically, ‘leisure' caravans and motorhomes are considered in the same light. As for the Rhyl parking restriction, There may well be something about it in the Council Info section of the Rhyl Town Council website http://www.rhyltowncouncil.org.uk/council-info.html but the simplest way to find out more would be to ask the Council http://www.rhyltowncouncil.org.uk/contact-us.php (Now that The Donald has taken office in the USA, you might consider tweeting Rhyl Council.)
