Motorhomes: Parking

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, if she will make an assessment of the potential merits of placing a duty on local authorities to provide overnight parking for motorhomes on local authority owned land.

Answer

Parking is the responsibility of local authorities, and it is for them to determine what is best for their own area. My department has no plans to consider such a duty.

Should members of the public wish to influence policies, statutory guidance allows local residents to petition their Local Council to initiate a formal review of parking policies in their area. Councillors will then vote on the action to be taken.
