Threat of legal action to council over camper van parking bay planned for Cobh

A group representing motorhome owners has jumped to the defence of a municipal district authority threatened with legal action after developing a parking site for camper vans.

Some caravan park owners in the east Cork area took exception to the Cobh-Glanmire Municipal District creating an overnight 30-unit parking bay in Cobh.

But Phoenix Motorhome Club, which has hundreds of members drawn mainly from the Munster region, believes the Cork County Council municipal authority should stick to its guns and retain the parking bay.
