The announcement of the impending closure of a UK caravan park has sparked outrage among holidaymakers. Happy Valley Caravan Park, situated near Porthcawl in Wales, is set to shut down at the end of the current season, leaving approximately 200 caravan owners in a predicament.
Caravan owners at the park have been notified by LT Management Services that they must make arrangements to relocate or dispose of their caravans by the end of February 2026. This news has resulted in unexpected financial burdens for many, with relocation or scrapping costs ranging from £1,500 to £4,000.
Long-time residents like Alison Williams, who has been part of the community for around 25 years, expressed dismay at the situation. She criticized the decision to force residents to bear the costs of removing their caravans. The sense of loss is palpable among the owners who have cherished the close-knit community at the park over the years.
Wendy Boylin, a 34-year resident of the park, highlighted the deep connections and shared memories that have been cultivated within the community. Similarly, Amanda Jayne, who described the park as a “home from home,” emphasized the strong sense of camaraderie and support among residents.
Concerns have also been raised about the impact of the closure on the residential facilities adjacent to the holiday park. Residents like Wendy are apprehensive about the future and the potential repercussions on their living arrangements. The sudden nature of the closure has left many feeling stranded and uncertain about their next steps.
As questions loom over the fate of the affected individuals, LT Management Services has been called upon for a response regarding the situation.
