With apologies to Marks and Spencer....
Deliberately run down by it's owners, looters and vandals allowed free rein.No lighting or security ,vans set on fire,windows smashed.No supervision,no idea who should or shouldn't be on it . This is no ordinary caravan site,this is Waveney District councils caravan site.
Early summer 2006 and three views of the council run (managed seems the wrong word looking at this mess) caravan site 50 yards from Lowestofs sea side.Imagine the feelings of the owners of vans like the bottom one who see their holiday home trashed and looted over and over again.Whilst Waveney District Council fritters away millions on its "Sunrise scheme" nonsense,the huge touring site called North Denes next door (also council 'run') is barricaded with concrete blocks and is empty with all the shower blocks and toilets boarded up smashed to bits inside by vandals because Waveney Dismal Council say they can't afford to run the sites properly.Altogether now.."Oh! we do like to be beside the sea side".

Sorry mate,you've lost the fight,and your caravan,holidays just won't be the same for you or any of the other holidaymakers anymore.

Vandalised and ruined as WDC dither,the toilet block.
While Nero fiddled Rome burnt.While WDC dither,the vandals have a smashing time in the toilet blocks and showers.
Peoples caravans vandalised and broken into.
.
Carry on Camping. Vandals stripped out most of the caravans,what a shameful reward for those who'd paid site rent for years to the council who did nothing to stop this destruction.

Latest news,middle 2007 the site is empty and derelict and the council are looking for a buyer.(The BBC incorrectly reported the council were to leave it as an open space).The council apparently decided years ago they wanted the site cleared,I do hope no-one suggests that ignoring the vandals efforts helped this happen.
July 18th the dried grass on the site has been set on fire a couple of times and gypsy caravans have now moved on the site and the shower blocks and toilets have been ruined by vandals.I wonder how long before the council declares this can't go on,and announces the land is being sold for housing or yet another silly "Sunrise Scheme" project. Have a look at this petition
 
Waveney Dismal Councils excuse for this chaos,is that after not investing in,or repairing this site for years it had got to the stage it needed money spent (suprise suprise) and the council has none,at the same time they have frittered away over £14,700,000 on the unpopular,unecessary and unfinished "Sunrise Scheme"
