Overview

• More than 416,000 motorcaravans registered in the UK are driving calls for increased domestic Aires after post-Brexit rules limit Schengen stays
• A Campaign for Real Aires survey of 6,731 motorcaravan users found 88% are dissatisfied with current overnight parking availability in sought-after destinations
• Motorhome travellers contribute economically by spending around £51 per day in local businesses and £23 nightly on parking or campsite fees
• Fleetwood’s trial aire at its seafront car park charges £5 a night, boosting local shop revenue and prompting plans for further facilities
• Local councils retain authority over parking policies, with some adopting permanent Aires and others, such as Hampshire County Council at Keyhaven, imposing overnight bans
