A generator installed at a Yorkshire caravan park has caused residents to complain about excess noise.

According to the York Press, tenants at the Osbaldwick caravan park are unhappy with the electrical device, which was installed by the council.

The newspaper noted that residents have asked the local authority to upgrade the electrical supply, but claim it has refused to comply.

One caravanner explained: “The generator breaks down a lot, and we’ve had no hot water since Friday. It’s next to where my kids sleep and it’s quite loud, so when it works, it keeps them awake.”

Problems have reportedly been ongoing for months and include a black-out on Christmas Day last year.

City of York Council explained that it was trying to resolve the problems as quickly as it could and has applied for funding for an upgrade project.
