Stop camper vans and lorries from parking overnight on Morecambe promenade

We, the undersigned, petition the county council to to introduce parking restrictions on Morecambe promenade to prevent the overnight parking of camper vans and all parking of articulated lorry tractor units.

The vehicles parked on Morecambe’s Promenade are an eyesore, especially the articulated lorry units. The local council, businesses and the people of the district are working hard to improve Morecambe and having these vehicles parked on the promenade overnight counters the work being done and the image the Town is trying to create.
The camper vans in particular are parking for free and taking income away from the commercial overnight caravan sites where they should be.

Vehicles parked on the promenade have no access to external power, water, sewage or waste disposal.

Council response


Lancaster City Council is proposing to produce a movement strategy with options for parking and restrictions on Marine Road however, we are unable to confirm timescales at this time.

Lancashire County Council will be involved with this work and any restrictions for campervans will be considered alongside other proposals including potential development sites in Morecambe.
