Caravan park firm under fire for third time in a year for allegedly trying to throw owners off Ayrshire site

A holiday park firm have come under fire for the third time in just over a year for allegedly trying to force static caravanners off their seaside site in Ayrshire.Caravan owners at Turnberry Holiday Park say Park Holidays have given them a deadline of Monday (October 31) to either provide formal documentation of pitch entitlement beyond the 2022 season, or upgrade their holiday homes with a new fixed-term license of 20 years.Failing to do either will result in being booted off the park as their pitch license will be terminated on December 31, it's claimed.Many caravanners say they have been left feeling confused as they say their original contracts have no end date on them, and were told by the previous general manager last year that all was well with their contracts.Mary Miller, who had been on the park for six years but has since left, has been speaking up on behalf of owners.She said: “It’s ridiculous.

It’s all pressure techniques.“The new GM is saying it’s because of ‘tenure’ but the contracts do not have a tenure, it was unlimited.“According to the previous GM last year, the legal team checked it all out and said everything was fine and they were told that they were allowed to stay- so what’s changed in a year?“The old general manager phoned them up at the time, apologised and said ‘enjoy your caravan now’- but how can they enjoy it if they have this every single year?“It’s constantly looming over their head like a threat.“Initially they were trying to get them off for the age of the caravan, and now they’re saying ‘that’s not an issue, we want you off because your tenure is finished’.“It’s like they’re just making it up to suit themselves.”One elderly owner, who’s in their eighties and asked not to be named, said
