Couple forced to leave home in caravan park after living there 'illegally' for 20 years

A couple have been forced to leave their home in a caravan park after living there 'illegally'. Doug Davis and Pam Donovan have lived in the Porthkerry leisure park and paid council tax on their standard van for 20 years.

The pair are among a group of residents who have been asked to leave to leave their homes after living there 'illegally' for two decades. WalesOnline reports the Welsh Government asked owners to leave the site and return to their main homes during the first Covid lockdown in 2020.

It was only then they realised around 40 people had been living on the site for 10 months a year in caravans only permitted for use permanently after they had sold their first homes.
