Merseyside beauty spot deserted after 'ridiculous' parking charges

A popular beauty spot was deserted by motorhome owners after new overnight parking charges came into force.

The area around New Brighton ’s Coastal Drive, adjacent to the Dips, is a popular destination for campervan and motorhomes, with people travelling from all over the country to stay overnight.

But the introduction of an experimental traffic regulation order (ETRO) by Wirral Council in recent weeks has caused outrage among some motorhome owners, who say it has put them off visiting the area all together. The new charges came into force on Friday, July 8, and mean drivers must now pay £20 to park on a stretch of Coastal Drive overnight.
