A ban issued for parking solution in Worthing
A ban on the overnight parking of motorhomes and caravans at a popular seafront spot has been approved following months of complaints from local residents.
The restriction, in the Sussex coastal town of Worthing, will apply from 10pm and 9am and is expected to be implemented within two months. A traffic regulation order will enable the restrictions to be enforced.
There restrictions come following reports from local residents of up to 30 leisure vehicles parked at one time, and has arisen following county councilors imposing measures to tackle what has been described as a “parking problem”. Councillor Steve Waight, of Goring division, told the Worthing Herald: “Neither I nor the residents of Goring are opposed to people camping in camper vans but we are opposed to them staying for weeks or months on end. One has gone on for years.”
The decision follows two years of complaints by local residents, despite calls from other locals to adopt a more European approach and welcoming visitors to the local coastal region.
