Nottinghamshire Residents Protest Campervan Overstay Legal Loophole on Riverside Street

Residents of Canal Side in Beeston, Nottinghamshire, are expressing strong frustration as campervan tourists exploit a legal loophole allowing overnight parking on a 500-meter stretch of their riverside street. Locals report that campervanners cause noise, block views of the Nottingham and Beeston Canal, leave rubbish, and even dump human waste into drains, grass verges, and the canal, severely impacting the area's natural beauty and peaceful environment. Many campervans are reportedly left parked for extended periods, with some occupants appearing to live there full-time without working. The street is promoted on the Park 4 Night app as a desirable overnight spot, exacerbating the issue. Nottinghamshire County Council currently lacks the legal authority to impose parking restrictions but is considering measures to address the community's concerns. Residents are demanding that councillors close the legal loophole to prevent further deterioration of their neighborhood.
