Brakes put on caravan park
COUNCILLORS have put the brak e s on mobile caravans using a popular Ribble Val ley holiday park. Th e n ib b le V a l le y
Development Committee gave tne go-ahead for enforcement action against the Three Rivers Caravan Park, after hearing it was being used intensively by touring caravans.
Councillors were told the site has been the sub
jec t o f controversy for several yeai*s.
The number of caravans
using Three Rivers has increased dramatically and
residents in nearby Eaves Hall Lane say they have been trapped in thoi homes by vehicles travel ling to and from the site getting stuck.
The park’s owner. Mr
Harold Cowburn, ha argued that mobile earn vans have been using the popular spot for 10 years, t h e r e b y s e t t in g • precedent.
The meeting heard that
the council turned down a previous request to use the site for touring cara vans, a decision which was upheld on appeal.
Officers told the meet
ing that, in their opinion, Mr Cowburn had failed to establish a precedent and re co m m end ed e n fo rc e - ment action against inten sive use of the site by mobile caravans.
