Caravanners in East Anglia will soon have one more destination to head to, with a decision to be made shortly on which company will acquire the lease to develop a new caravan park in Essex.
Competition to run the caravan park is heating up, with seven companies in the running to develop a site in Burnham-On-Sea, the Burnham and Maldon Standard reported.
Maldon District Council agreed to lease the land at Millfields back in July and began soliciting bids from organisations who are experienced in managing caravan parks.
The land at Burnham-on-Crouch was formerly a touring and static caravan site, and the council are hoping that it can be turned back into a thriving destination for caravanners.
Today, councillors will finalise the lease arrangement for the land, with officers recommending that a 99-year lease be offered to the prospective bidders.
It is hoped that by re-developing the land the local economy will receive a kick-start from the boost in tourism.
