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 was no ordinary caravan site,this was 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,and rushes headlong to waste £50 million or more on a new 'campus',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.

It beggars belief
that someone was actually in charge of this mess.
.
While Nero fiddled Rome burnt.While WDC dither,the vandals have a
smashing time in the toilet blocks and showers.
.
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.

Windows broken,roofs ripped off.

Latest news.
Summer 2009,the
site is still empty and derelict .The BBC incorrectly reported the council were
to leave it as an open space.The council apparently decided years ago they
wanted this site cleared,I do hope no-one suggests that ignoring the vandals
efforts helped this happen.
The dried grass on the site has been set on fire a
couple of times and gypsy caravans have moved on a time or two ,the shower
blocks and toilets have been ruined by vandals.The council said they have sold
this site to a developer,"Open by the summer" they said. Sadly eighteen
months later,no money having ever changed hands the deal was off.
Apparently
the sale fell through because of the public footpaths that crisscross the
site.Rumours abound that the developer wasn't told about these and when they
became aware they backed out of the deal.
