Construction of a brand new 107-pitch Caravan Club site has got underway at Strathclyde Country Park in Scotland.
The Caravan Club was granted permission by North Lanarkshire Council to build the latest addition to its network of sites and has secured a 60-year lease at the picturesque location.
A total of 107 touring caravan pitches are to be built as part of the new development, with camping space and storage pitches for 296 caravans also on the cards, the Wishaw Press reported.
Last week, the existing site was flattened in preparation of the Club’s development, with shower blocks, a reception and information room, and accommodation for site wardens among the facilities to be built in the coming months.
Speaking to the newspaper, the site’s senior development manager Grahame Passfield said it promised to be a brilliant site for caravanners and campers.
“Our design is intended to create more than just basic facilities,” he said.
“As well as the necessary amenities, it will be attractively landscaped and maintained and will be of considerable benefit to the local community.”
The development also has the blessing of local councillor Helen McKenna, who praised the investment in one of the area’s most popular tourist attractions.
Broad Park Caravan Club Site in Devon is also currently undergoing redevelopment, with work on the park due to be completed before it opens for the new season on March 23rd.
