    Well done SHDC.

    I’m not sure I fancy the Ivybridge one but at least it’s handy for the police station😄.

    Longmarsh in Totnes is very popular, I have heard some councillors want to use the profits to provide water and disposal facilties to attract even more overnighters.

    If you read the local news there are reports of campers using the hedges as toilet facilities and dumping stuff in the river. There are public toilets a short distance away which are closed overnight. Although its a good provision some of the van community using it are quite a mix and don't comply with any of the requested regs.

    However it's still a much cheaper option than Steamer Quay which is very close.
