i)       certified self-contained vehicles only

ii)      limited numbers of vehicles

iii)     only in identified parking spaces.

c)      confirm their general views on the management of freedom camping expressed through the workshop on 2 May 2018 as follows:

i)       the local board area has a history of anti-social behaviour and problems with alcohol use in public places, often in breach of an alcohol ban. The evidence used to obtain alcohol bans should be considered when determining if an area is to be prohibited from freedom camping

ii)      the use of gates and bollards in the local board area are to discourage anti-social behaviour in public places. These measures would also limit the ability for freedom campers to easily access sites after dark

iii)     freedom camping should be limited to certified self-contained vehicles only.

d)      clear signage, monitoring and enforcement of the bylaw is required.

e)       supports placing a penalty for breach and active enforcement of the bylaw in its final form.

 

f)        request the Governing Body to fund signage and promotional material to inform freedom campers about local facilities (e.g. free access to swimming pools), heritage sites, local attractions (arts exhibitions, markets and events), for a better experience when visiting the local area.
