Caravan park firm under fire again as owners fight to have original terms met at Ayrshire site
A holiday park company has once again come under fire for allegedly using ‘dirty tactics’ to get static caravanners to agree to their terms and conditions.
Turnberry Holiday Park owners Park Holidays have been accused of ‘further wrong doing’ since their U-turn back in September last year, which saw bosses allow dozen of owners to stay on site after it was claimed caravanners were told to ‘upgrade or get out’.
A statement from Park Holidays at the time said they would honour any contracts from the previous owner Bridge Leisure.

A fraudster who drives around in a Rolls-Royce is at the centre of a £25million planning row in one of Scotland’s most exclusive suburbs.
An application has been made for a large estate of 44 homes to be built around Liberty Durant’s opulent mansion on green belt land in Bothwell, Lanarkshire – sparking complaints from well-heeled neighbours.
The request comes three years after Durant was slapped with a 10-year directorship ban and a suspended prison sentence for carrying out a £700,000 fraud while already banned from being a company director.

The Royal Family is filled with members who are lucky to get fancy titles bestowed upon them, including the likes of HRH, dukedoms and honorary ranks.
However, not everyone is able to become a Duke or Duchess meaning many relatives who are further down the Queen’s line of succession must use a normal surname just like everyone else.
Archie and Lilibet use the royal family’s ‘official’ last name – Mountbatten-Windsor – but the issue of surnames was actually a huge point of contention between the Queen and Prince Philip.
