Owning a holiday home through popular corporate companies like Park Holidays and Parkdean Resorts is a dream for many. But, as a caravan owner myself, I believe this dream should come with transparency and trust. I'm deeply concerned that the business rates and water bill rates charged to us remain hidden, often cloaked under an administrative fee. For countless caravan owners across the UK, having a clear breakdown of these charges is more than a number—it represents peace of mind and fairness.

Currently, holiday homeowners, managed by these big corporations, lack access to detailed, transparent financial information concerning their rates. This ambiguity raises alarms that some companies may be upselling water rates for profit. If the water companies are charging a certain amount, we deserve to know exactly what we are paying for and why. The lack of clarity in these charges can lead to mistrust and feelings of being exploited, which no homeowner should endure.

Transparency isn't just a consumer right; it's a step towards fostering a fair market. By making business rates and water bills transparent, governing bodies can ensure these companies maintain ethical standards, preserving the integrity of the holiday home market. Much like other utilities and service charges faced by homeowners, those living in holiday homes should be entitled to a detailed and honest breakdown of their fees.

We call on government authorities and industry regulators to enforce a mandate requiring holiday park companies and similar entities to disclose full details of business rates and water bill charges alongside any administrative fees. By signing this petition, you help advocate for transparency and fairness, ensuring all holiday home owners can rest easy knowing exactly what they are paying for. Stand with us in demanding transparency for a more honest and just market.
