Overview
- The trial prohibits parking between 11pm and 7am at North Bay in Scarborough and on the A174 south of Sandsend.
- Introduced in November 2024, the measures responded to an unprecedented volume of complaints about motor caravans and related safety issues.
- An 18‑month consultation drew more than 3,000 responses, with roughly two‑thirds from motorhome owners who mostly opposed the plan, while 60% of local resident respondents supported it.
- Council monitoring found vehicles relocating into residential areas, and officials are considering similar restrictions at other locations based on survey data and local member input.
- A Cayton Bay trial was abandoned after repeated vandalism of signs, and councillors want the authority to explore dedicated motorhome facilities as a public report goes to a 27 March meeting between Cllr Malcolm Taylor and director Karl Battersby.
