Caravan owners 'forced off' holiday site by new rule costing them £40,000

A new rule at a Welsh holiday site has "shocked" a caravan owner who fears he was been "forced off". He said that new rules at Kingsley Holiday Park in Abergele, which is owned by Lyons Holiday Parks, mean caravans on the site must be a year 2000 model or newer.

The age limit was introduced on March 1 and means that holidaymakers with vehicles over the age limit risk being forced out of caravan parks because they no longer meet safety requirements, a rule which Lyons Holiday Parks said was common across the industry.

The man, who did not wish to be named, claimed he had no option but to leave the Abergele site next month, despite "pleading" with the owners to let him stay.
