Commissioners to deep clean street 'blighted' by campervans

Monday, 17 March 2025 08:19

Ramsey commissioners say they're targeting part of the town that's blighted by campervans and long-term parking.

On Facebook, the local authority says it plans to deep clean Grove Mount next month - and will get a Traffic Regulation Order to prohibit parking.

The work will take place on Tuesday, April 22 and the board is asking people to move their vehicles before the deep clean starts.

Town Clerk Derek Flint says although it's legal to leave the vehicles there, it impacts on residents and the nearby doctors, dentists and hospital patients and visitors.
