Dear Mr Cameron

"Aires" in France and "Stellplatz" in Germany are the names of areas of  provision for Motorhomes to park-up overnight either free of charge or at a nominal rate. In some cases there are grey water disposal and Elsan disposal points and also fresh water for drinking is provided. There are also these kind of areas in other EU countries but I do not know their particular names.

My point is that, in the UK, we make no such provision to welcome tourists to our country and encourage them to travel around, spending their Euros or Dollars!!

In some European countries we have stayed on motorway service areas  overnight free of charge and have been made welcome.  There are even showering facilities at some!  This it not possible in the UK.

In some areas, the councils put up very unwelcoming signs "No overnight parking for Motorhomes" and the like. It is not always possible to plan journeys that take one exactly from one campsite to another, we have sometimes just got to stop on the way to somewhere.  Friends who live on the continent of Europe say to many of us that the UK is a very unfriendly place for people with Motorhomes.

We would like you to ask the minister concerned to look into the possibility of providing better services for those of us who wish to holiday in this way.

We can't even  park at the car parks and park ride in towns because of height barriers,if we want  just  a day visit 

 It would also add to the economy of the areas, as we need fuel, food and we also eat out at the local restaurants and generally spend money in the areas we stop in.
