I am in love with West Bay.
I love the unspoiled sea side area that hasn't got thousands of betting shops and arcades, and I travel there at least every couple of months.
I am also a motor home owner. I am responsible, and don't leave a trace of having been in an area, and I abide by rules in regard to parking.
However, I fail to see why residents are so hesitant to have us in West Bay.
Currently I use a site for overnight sleeping and pay the £2 for day-time parking at Station car park.
Why don't you charge £10 a night and allow overnight parking?
Use the money to pay for a 'warden' and the extra generated can be put to use in the community.
We shop in your town, we eat in your restaurants and bring money in all year round – not just in the summer.
Rather than tarnish us all with the same brush – understand us.
Learn how to maximise the potential to support us to support your community!
Speak to your shop owners. We have! They want our trade.
As of November 1 each year all the camp sites are closed – so we have no where to stay.
Station car park is ideal – and we are happy to pay or don't - and accept that you are losing money.
I accept that some people take the mick and stay for weeks on end and use noisy generators etc, so have a warden who could monitor this and keep the few in check.
Don't stop West Bay being accessible!
