Caravan owners who feared the worst when their beloved park was taken over by a new company have been assured that fees will not increase next season.
Regulars at the Silver Sands leisure park in Lossiemouth, Moray, were anxious that they would be forced out with price hikes when Lifestyle Living Group took over their site.
When it was revealed that the owner of the new company was Tony Barney, a former director at one of the site’s previous management companies, it was expected that similar events to 2007 would unfold in which more than 50 caravans abandoned the site as prices rocketed, STV reported.
Moving to assure residents at the park, which has been in administration for the past two years, general manager Grant Kerr told the news provider that fees and ground rent will remain the same for the coming season.
“Even though the Retail Price Index is at 5.6 per cent [inflation] there will be no price increases for the coming season,” he said.
“There hasn’t been any money spent on the site while it has been in administration for the past two years so we are hopeful that this will be welcomed,” he added.
Mr Kerr did however acknowledge that fees may go up the following year, but promised to keep owners well informed about any changes that may happen in the future.
