Have your say on overnight motorhome parking and car park tariff changes

Residents are being asked for their views on a number of proposals for car parks in Cornwall including allowing overnight motorhome camping at several locations.

Residents are being asked for their views on a number of proposals for car parks in Cornwall including allowing overnight motorhome camping at several locations. 

It follows a successful trial in Bude and would see fully self-contained motorhomes allowed to park overnight in an additional ten car parks.  

Under the proposals, a £2 ‘all day’ parking charge could also be introduced in several car parks which are currently free of charge and charges introduced at some car parks which are free in the winter. 

Residents can give their views by taking part in the consultation which runs until Wednesday, February 4.  

Dan Rogerson, Cornwall Council cabinet member for transport, said; “We’re considering a range of proposals to address requests from motorhome users, as well as safeguarding access to some of our public spaces and supporting traffic management.  

“However, I appreciate that some residents may park in our free car parks as they are unable to park outside or near their homes, and I particularly encourage those residents to take part in the consultation so that we can understand the impact.  

“These are proposals at this stage and I very much encourage residents to take part in the consultation.”
