Caravanners need your help to save their favourite caravan park from closure

A group of dedicated caravanners are reaching out to the caravanning community in a bid to to halt eviction from their favourite caravan park in Kent.

Back in June, CaravanTimes highlighted the planned closure of the caravan park, as proposed by pub operator Shepherd Neame, who is continuing to press ahead with plans to evict longstanding visitors to the site, located behind The Sportsman pub in Whitstable.

Third-generation caravanner and long-term visitor to the park, Patrick O’Neill, has since started a petition in order to halt the destruction of the park and has, thus far, attracted over 500 signatures – but it’s still not enough. And this is where you come in.

Following being served a 17 day eviction notice, Patrick has reached out to CaravanTimes readers with a view to seeking legal advice, as well as requesting for CaravanTimes readers to help save the park by adding their name to a petition opposing the closure of the park many have come to call their second home.

Signing the petition literally takes seconds and could lead to ensuring future generations get to enjoy exactly what Patrick and his caravanning friends have over the years. To sign it, click here.

In addition, if you think you can help Patrick and his fellow caravanners with any legal advice, please email thesportsman_caravaners@outlook.com.

Let’s all pull together and try to help as much as possible.
