Amenity blocks closed until 17th May

The list of those sites where the toilets will be open or closed is now on the covid info section of the website. There are only a few that won’t be open, the vast majority will be open.

Says it’s open. The ones in red are closed.

Most odd. That’s the list the snap shot is of. Mind you nothing surprises me about this site.☹️

This is a copy and paste that a member quoted from the Gov regs. As it was noted at the time the operative word in the regs is or in Reg 5(a)  before Reg 5 (b)

The regulation as set out was correctly interpreted by Ann B.

Hope it helps but I can't find the government document it came from but could at the time.

The relevant information is - 

(quote) 

(5) Holiday accommodation referred to in sub-paragraph (1) may continue to be provided if that accommodation is provided—

(a)in a campsite or caravan park, provided that the only shared facilities used by guests at the campsite or caravan park are washing facilities, toilets, water points and waste disposal points, or

(b)in separate and self-contained premises.

(6) Premises are separate and self-contained for the purposes of this paragraph only if—

(a)they are provided for persons who are —

(i)members of the same household, or

(ii)members of two households which are linked households in relation to each other, and

(End)

The important word here is the ‘OR’ at the end of sub para 5a).

it’s isn’t an ‘and’ so means the sub para 5b) is not relevant, and therefore neither is sub para 6 as that is qualifying 5b not 5a).

Sorry to be a nerd but according to the law then campsite toilets and washing facilities can open. Whether or not they should is another matter and I couldn’t care less as we will use our own facilities in April, and probably continue to do so for a while after.

It would be wonderful if the instructions could be understood by a normal person. But then again that is to much to ask.

made me really chuckle, that works on a number of levels
