Parking prohibition of Motorhomes
Dear Scarborough Borough Council,
I refer to a previous request Freedom of Information Act 2000 FOIA 5960
Your reply to the request was basically that you had only received one legitimate complaint regarding motorhomes parking in Whitby.
As a result of incorrect information submitted to Council Members there is now a ban on motorhomes parking in Whitby ( except for those boat owners that have a motorhome)
Is there a possibility that the Elected Members will review the parking restriction in light of the fact that they were woefully / opportunistically misinformed of the true situation ?
Yours faithfully,
G K Jones

Dear FOI, I refer to your diversionary tactics asking me to address my FOI request to Parking Services.
I am right that Parking Serices are part of the council ?
Yours sincerely,

Dear FOI, You have confirmed that Parking Services are part of your council.
My FOI request is to your council.
It is for you to forward my FOI request to Parking Services and not stall or impede my request.
I therefore request : Please forward the FOI request on your internal service to the appropriate department.
Failure to assist in this request will neccesitate me asking for an internal review
Yours sincerely,
G K Jones
Dear GK Jones
I refer to your email which is not deemed to be a FOI request.
For your information additional email complaints were received by members and via verbal complaints, this is in addition to concerns by harbour office staff and relevant portfolio holders for both harbours and car parks. The complaints referenced in the original FOI were those recorded in the Councils complaints database. I have attached other concerns for your information
The report below will provide additional background for you and was provided to members when considering implementing the prohibition of motor caravans .

I do not believe the cabinet members have been misinformed on the situation with regards to Motor caravans in the harbour side car parks.
For your information, a review of Motor Caravan provisions have been added to The Cabinets forward plan and will be considered later in the year.
Yours sincerely
