'Sinister' parking charges 'restricting freedom' at popular beauty spot

A furious motorhome owner has hit out at overnight parking charges for "restricting freedom" at a Wirral beauty spot.

Andy Simpson, 58, is among the motorhome owners who are opposed to the overnight parking charges on Coastal Drive in New Brighton which he described as "sinister." Wirral Council implemented the charges on July 8, meaning drivers must now pay £20 per night to park overlooking the seafront.

Andy has now joined forces with a group of 16 motorhome owners to appeal against the council's decision as part of the newly-formed Wirral Campervan Club. The club want the council to scrap the parking charges and replace them with a dedicated site for campervans and motorhomes with facilities for £10 per night.
