If it implied otherwise we would not be having this discussion at all. It's abundantly clear, that is what has caused the hope, desperation for some, to seek clarification/change/u-turn, call it what you like but it really is absolutely clear. Can't see this government capitulating now!

“Can't see this government capitulating now!”
And quite rightly so, in my view. I’m sure I’m not the only one that wants to see the facilities opened at the earliest opportunity, but we now need to hang in there, I think. I had my jab in January, so statistically, I feel relatively covered, but as we’ve already seen, it can soon go pear-shaped. For my part, I won’t be venturing out until after I’ve had my second jab, in May.

if the planned opening is on the 12 april we will all be using shared factilies as we all have to collect water empty waste and toilet. Could this is what the club are possible waiting on clarification on and does this make the touring caravan and motorhome not a self contained holiday accommodation

If indoors with multiple household sharing then they won't meet the stipulated criteria. CEPs and water points are predominantly out in the open with easy social distancing control. It's the showers and toilets that are shared indoor spaces and clearly don't meet the requirements as written.

I suppose it all comes down to those who are terrified of having to use their own toilet and shower for some obscure reason. ISTM that the only people for whom it might be problematic are those with a disability and for which the confines of a caravan/motorhome shower would prove problematic.

If you look at the following figures for the UK, it is clear to most people why the Government, will not be taking any chances when we are almost there.
4 March - 16 Aug 2109 cases/day 259 deaths/day
17Aug - 07 Dec 12,709 cases/day 180/deaths/day
8 Dec - 17 March 25308 cases/day 639/deaths/day

sometimes they are, I can think of a few sites where the water and waste points are in a enclosed room indoors.
also some sites have their chemical toilet emptying point indoors too.

CY why do you use such strong emotive words?
Last time it was an aversion now it is being terrified of having to use their own toilet .
Why not just accept that some simply do not want to use their own facilities and prefer using site facilities and leave it as that? Rather than label such people as being terrified - to feel extreme fear?

More of an issue for some might be the washing up. We decided years ago to use the vans, after we stopped on a site where it was a very long way to carry them. However, they always seem very popular when I use them for our safari chef. Only used it once last September, as I didn’t fancy using them. Nobody seemed to take any notice of the only one family group signs.

While CY's post is largely one of ridicule, you make a valid point, Steve. We too wash up in the van for the sake of convenience, hygiene and the ability to get proper hot water. We do dispose of the water at a service point but that only involves carrying the bowl to the nearest point rather than sharing a washing up room with others.

what is the bottom line Mikey?

I quite like water, waste and especially CDP inside or under cover, especially when it's raining. Time does seem to slow down when standing about waiting to fill or empty whatever on a rainy windy day.
