Caravan park applies for alcohol licence

Caravan insurance customers staying on a park in Wales may soon be able to purchase alcohol on site following news that its owners have applied for a licence.

YourVale.co.uk reports that Spring Gardens Holiday Park also applied for permission to host live music on weekends and to extend drinking hours between Monday and Sunday.

However, the plans have drawn criticism from St Asaph residents, who are concerned the licence may lead to an increase in anti-social behaviour.

Vale of Clwyd MP Chris Ruane told the newspaper that residents have contacted him to complain about the plans.

"People could be encouraged to travel down from the various bars and restaurants in St Asaph after closing to get a later drink in the Spring Gardens, creating noise, disturbance and anti-social behaviour to the residents," he commented.

Mr Ruane shared the view of his constituents, stating that the area has traditionally been a "more rural setting" and so the caravan park should not be given the licence.

In related news, Lakeside Holiday Park in Runcton, has applied to extend the length of time touring caravans can stay, the Mid Sussex Times reports.

Up to now, rules prevent such caravans from staying longer than 21 days.
