A NEW report has addressed concerns about campervans being parked overnight in Peebles.
In November, the Peebles Common Good Fund Sub-Committee discussed the issue of people sleeping in Kingsmeadows Road car park and called for clarity.
An 11-page document has been published by Scottish Borders Council.
It states: “The 1976 Traffic Regulation Order prohibits parking of a vehicle for ‘sleeping and camping purposes’.
"It prohibits a vehicle from being in the parking space for over 48 hours, or if it is a bus, for over three hours.
"The Order prohibits caravans from being garaged in a parking place or from being in a parking place unless the driver is carrying out their affairs in the vicinity.
"The DVLA category of “motor caravan” includes all campervans, motor caravans and motorhomes.”
