Caravan owners at a Welsh holiday park say they might mount a self-funded legal challenge against increased rental fees, saying Haven cannot justify large increases on a “run-down” park with ageing facilities.
Around 115 signatures opposing the increase in fees have been collected by residents at the site, who claim the increase will put their ground fees on a par with luxury caravan parks despite having access to just one pool and a "broken" sauna. That's more than half the residents there. Haven said the cost of running their parks has increased significantly and said repairs identified would be fixed and the site monitored through 2023.
Caravan owners also say they now face an "impossible" choice at the Cardigan View site at Morfa Bychan, near Porthmadog.. One complained he was now having to accept a £1,840 rent rise or write off £26,000 after only 10 months at the adjacent Greenacres Holiday Park, which is also owned by Haven.
