350,000 camper vans with irresponsible people & pets that don't want to pay a cent to the council & governments for amenities like libraries, parks, road/street maintenance, utilities, garbage removal, etc. All of you are a bunch of takers. Get a job, rent yourself a spot & do some volunteering. Get a purpose in life. All you are doing in whinging. I doubt you bring much business, safety or beauty to the areas you want to park up for free. Your dogs are more than likely badly behaved & take after both of you, by whining or barking constantly. Taxpayers complain for a reason & I'm sure it was more than one person stating their concerns to council that brought about the "No overnight Parking". These measures don't happen overnight. Maybe your friends didn't want to see you & are glad you aren't coming because of your constant self-centredness & the hands that are constantly out expecting something for free. Grow up men. Right now you appear to be acting like toddlers have a tantrum. BTW: in Canada most home owners kids have cars so there is little to no residential street parking. We also know our neighbours & we are the neighbourhood watch. Park in my neighbourhood late at night & you will be visited by the police checking to see if you are doing a drug deal or have drugs. How much freedom do vehicle livers have now?
Well actually we were happy paying the parking charge to the council and so were everyone else. You missed the point. The council have huge empty car parks that could be making money for the community if they managed it properly.
How dare you presume to know who we are, whether we work or how our dogs are behaved? Why are you making it personal? You really have no idea.
And as for paying tax, I've paid way more than my fair share in my lifetime - but again you wouldn't know.
As for Scarborough (if you even know where that is) we've moved on to somewhere that does want us. And we're on a campsite, so that kind of shoots your ill-researched theories in the foot doesn't it?
Your neighbourhood sounds pretty rough though with drug dealers around.
What a pathetically miserable life you must lead with such an infantile rant like that, and also admitting to be willing to make a false claim to the police,you do know wasting police time is a crime,so I think it may be you getting a visit from the police for incriminating yourself.if anyone reports you. Cheer up cupcake.
hi guys sorry that you had to leave Scarborough you have a stay journey to Scotland and you both stay warm and we will see you both in the new year. Merry Christmas & Happy new Year.
We are rather vexed we had to leave tbh but nothing we could do but will see you again in the new year xx
Well said.
Yeah got a bit passionate there didn't I lol Thanks for watching
What a miserable country we live in. We're so sorry your plans were ruined. We understand the need to limit (a good thing unfortunately ruined by the inconsiderate).. However, the economical impact on Scarborough (and other places) will be huge. It's so sad that this country hates this lifestyle so much, simply because they can't control it. Therefore, they control the aspects they can. We're mostly a great bunch, who take great pride in where we 'live'. It really is a disgrace that they won't consider rules; it makes no sense because folk WILL pay! Just so sad all round. Much love to you all ❤
I don't understand what it is with this country. Why do people just not like motorhomes and campervans. I guess it's the few that spoil it? North Yorkshire Council are a joke. If it was still Scarborough Borough Council this would never have happened - it was SBC that installed the Elsan point. It's just easier these days to 'cancel'. Businesses will suffer at the expense of the greedy camp site owners who the council are obviously pandering to. Well not our money. Scotland here we come!
Do the councils think that motorhomes dissappear into thin air if they stop you parking up for the night, the trades will suffer hugely, spend winter abroad if you can
We are heading to Scotland have a whole trip planned 😀 sites booked lol
Well said guys.i agree with you 100%. I will no longer go to whitby and Scarborough in my van.
No, there are plenty of other places around. They'll change it back but it'll be too late.
Thanks for watching and taking time to comment.
Yorkshire council has made a poor decision here, however to be fair and balanced, we often saw motorhomes parked across multiple bays and ruining it for the many. I would often walk the front and be shaking my head at those few abusing Scarborough sea front. We drive a self converted van and only ever use one space. Shame on those that didn't as this would have been a large factor into the councils decision. I hope its reversed but I also hope that the disrespectful visitors are punished in some way (fines) so they are deterred.
The council have made an awful decision and I think the council's area is too big. Would it have happened if it was till SBC? I doubt it. Yes there we're the abusers and we do the same. But how do people learn if there are no rules and punishment for breaking them? They now employ someone to check on who's parked up between 11pm and 7am - why couldn't they put the rules in, make some money, and everyone is happy? Thanks for watching.
They are not making life easy for you! This time of year they should be tempting people in any way they can! Sea side towns need all the help they can (we come from Hastings so we know!)
Unfortunately it's getting worse everyone 😞 but it's back to Scotland we go lol 😆
I live in a lovely part of South bay in scarborough and it's ruined by campervans, vans, motor homes and this was long before the ban on the seafront recently. They are a nuisance all over scarborough. People are actually selling their properties in South bay because of this. All the people in these vans wouldn't like the nuisance outside their homes. Go and pay to park in a camping site or don't come to scarborough. We won't miss your business as scarborough has plenty of tourists.
Where on Royal Albert Drive are there ANY homes? What nuisance have YOU been caused? What laws are being broken? There are NO camp sites open close to the seafront. We won't be coming back. But good luck in summer when all the back streets are full of campervans instead of being out of the way. I lived in Filey for 14 years and Scarborough for 4 years with businesses in both. Tourists keep the places alive. Thanks for watching and making your point.
It all ticked along nicely until Covid, then when people couldn't go to Benidorm they went out and purchased a motorhome or campervan........last summer Scarborough turned feral, people parking up for a two week holiday, tables and chairs out, awnings wound out, firepits and bbq's ablaze.......but I think you already knew about the new rule before you turned up for an overnight stay, you've just done this to make UA-cam content. There was plenty of notice about this and you inew months ago like everyone else did...........DRAMA
Don't disagree with what you've said. We can't stand Benidorm. Yes we knew about Albert Drive. What we didn't know was the council had stopped overnights in ALL it's car parks, paid or otherwise. And if you watched the video or read other comments, we did genuinely change our plans. So now there is NO provision by the council for any motorhome or campervan parking overnight. One of the only councils in the country being so short sighted. Can't even say it's to please the campsite owners - there's only one this time of year. But in the end they did us a favour. Had a great time at Beamish, Wooler, North Berwick and Edinburgh.
Just park up they can't prove you are sleeping or cooking
I agree they would find it difficult to prove but we'd prefer not to have the hassle. There are other places. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Give it till after the winter season when the local businesses start complaining to the council , will soon change back .
We hope so but once the sites reopen they won't notice the difference it's the winter they are gonna get hit
go to Filey brigg
Filey Brigg is an option but it's £29.50 and it's owned by North Yorks Council - the very people that stopped us staying on Albert Drive! But it's not Scarborough where we wanted to be. Thanks for the suggestion though and for watching.
the brigg is just past the camp site on the cliff top, cost aprox £7.50 for the day, nothing after 6pm, toilet and waste disposal as you drive on to the cliff top, roa dos all the way around, repeat, not the caravan site, not where you wanted to be but fileys a great place to visit with friendly locals......not like some people that leave you comments
@@michealdiamond7018 There's a big sign on entry saying no camping. A couple of years ago 19 campervans all got ticketed at 6am. Filey is a lovely place - Andrew lived there or 14 years and we both ran the Belle Vue pub! Cheers
Moaning camp sites closed..Moaning about 30 pounds to pay... can't win with you 2
It's not that £30 pound bothers us but when it's a field with nothing at all and its 3 miles away from the event feels counterproductive
Yeah my heart bleeds . Bigger problems in the world then where to park your van in scarborough ffs !
@Allthatwonderarenotlost soooooo true but we are a channel about living in a motorhome so it's kinda important to us !
What utter muppets (the councils)
Haha I had to read that twice there
