Two troubled caravan parks in Moray, Scotland, could soon undergo major refurbishments thanks to new investment.
When Lifestyle Living Group purchased the Silver Sands leisure park in Lossiemouth and the Riverview Country Park near Forres, it was with the promise of millions of pounds of investment, STV reports.
However, this has not been forthcoming according to residents of the caravan parks, with one dispute between staff and a former customer at the Lossiemouth park resulting in a six-hour standoff after he tried to remove his caravan.
Moray MP Angus Robertson has reportedly been approached by several people with complaints about the caravan parks and Lifestyle Living Group managing director said the company is in talks with local MPs to address problems.
He said the firm was “happily assisting” inquiries by Trading Standards and was quoted by the news provider as stating: “Lifestyle Living Group has invested heavily in the onsite facilities at Silver Sands, including the leisure complex, and will continue to invest in both parks.”
According to its website, Silver Sands “has the potential to become one of the most spectacular holiday parks in North Scotland”, thanks to its abundance of local wildlife, caves to explore and sand dunes.
It is currently licenced for 500 static homes and 140 touring caravans.
