Holiday Caravan Parks

The Assembly Member Darren Millar is planning to introduce a new law in Wales which will address concerns regarding the management and regulation of holiday caravan parks.

The Holiday Caravan Park (Wales) Bill must be introduced before March 2014 and Darren Millar is keen to hear the opinions of a wide range of individuals and organisations so that they can influence the content of the Bill.

As holiday caravan parks are a matter of concern in many areas that are Welsh speaking strongholds Dyfodol has responded focusing on the impact the lack of regulation has on the Welsh language.
