Drivers could see motorhome and campervan rule in England scrapped

Scarborough Town Council has proposed reconsidering an overnight parking ban for motorhomes and campervans on the town's seafront. The council states the trial ban, implemented by North Yorkshire Council due to complaints, has displaced vehicles into residential areas, causing new issues with noise, waste, and parking. It argues for a controlled parking scheme on Marine Drive to address the problem.

Stoke-on-Trent man saves £20k in four years living in a camper van

Tim Knight, 37, has saved over £20,000 since moving into a converted LDV Maxus minibus in October 2022, cutting monthly housing costs by more than £400. He purchased the van for £1,800 and spent an additional £2,000 converting it. Knight cites freedom from neighbors as a benefit but acknowledges the lifestyle complicates his love life.
