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".

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.At the end of 2008 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 the 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 ,and the shower blocks and toilets have been ruined by vandals.
