Allow overnight parking to camper vans, motorhomes in no overnight parking areas

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Lift restrictions to allow a limited number of parking spaces for overnight/domestic use to campervan, motorhome and vehicle dwellers in no overnight/domestic use parking locations around the UK. Increasing tourism and access for people to areas of interest.
The UK has a large base of people that enjoy travelling and visiting areas of interest, coastal and inland areas are increasingly becoming non accessible for people that enjoy being in nature. Height restrictions, width restrictions and signs stating no overnight parking, cooking or domestic activity in vehicles are destroying our access to the UK and reducing tourism. Its causing a "bunching" of such vehicles in areas that are still accessible compounding the problem more.

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

We can't accept your petition because the UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for the issue you raise. This is a decision for landowners and local authorities.
