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.
.
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,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"
