Press reports say that Northumberland County Council has identified car parks in Bamburgh, Beadnell and Amble as potentially suitable for a pilot scheme in relation to using municipal car parks for motorhome parking.

The Council says it has engaged with key stakeholders in recent weeks and now aims to submit planning applications for all three sites later in the autumn.

The scheme is being proposed “in response to a number of motorhome and campervan related issues including inconsiderate parking and litter”.
