Dear Scott @scottmann4NC

Our manufacturing supply chain, based in Hull, is on its knees

My own 2021 order will be 50% down on 2020

Please therefore support the @EmmaHardyMP adjournment debate on 15 June on “Support for the caravan industry in Hull & East Riding”

Thank you

[Helen Brown @droversway]

Its not just park owners asking to open , hear the plea from ordinary folk @OliverDowden and @DCMS

[Grahame @BartramGrahame]

@BHHPA @OliverDowden @DCMS My static caravan. Is self contained. Not shared with public. Same social distancing as staying in my own house. 5m space between Van's. I pose no additional risk to the community. Please allow me immediately return to my safe happy place.

[HARPA_UK @HARPA_UK]

Thank you ⁦@OliverDowden⁩ ⁦@DCMS⁩ for your confirmation of the lower risks of self-contained accommodation. We are ready just as soon as you give the green light.

[Helen Brown @droversway]

Its good to see someone with some common sense, thank you @OliverDowden

[HARPA_UK @HARPA_UK]

Thank you @OliverDowden

That reduced risk in the great outdoors applies equally to people staying in self-contained accommodation such as is found on holiday & touring parks.

Please #ProtectTourismJobs, coastal/rural communities we sustain & caravan manufacturing supply chain

[Helen Brown @droversway]

All our units are a minimum of 6m apart, our owners come here for the peace and quiet , and for those who are already being able to use our fishing lakes it is very hard to explain why they can't use their caravans .

Some hospitality sectors are socially distant by design, including self-contained accommodation on holiday & touring parks

One size does not fit all

[Helen Brown @droversway]

So now we are being told something we've known all along, our owners would be safer at their caravans than at a supermarket queue, where's the common sense gone @BorisJohnson save tourism jobs.

[HARPA_UK @HARPA_UK]

Dr Smith, consultant virologist has described the chances of catching Covid-19 outside in the fresh air as “vanishingly small”.. applies equally to the chances of tens of thousands of small, family-owned tourist-dependent businesses surviving ... https://t.co/rn4LVQNRO1

[Helen Brown @droversway]

We can also have our lake full of fishermen and ur footpath through the park busy but we can't have our owners back. What happened to common sense @ACunninghamMP

[Michael Thompson @woodnookpark]

So this weekend the beauty spots of the #Yorkshire Dales - and other parts of the country - have been inundated by large groups of people gathering blatantly ignoring social distancing rules. It makes a mockery of caravan parks being closed @matthancock @BHHPA @JulianSmithUK

[Andrew Baragwanath @ABaragwanth]

Yesterday I did my weekly shopping and spent more time in contact with other people in an hour than I would have done in a week long holiday in a self catering caravan or motor caravan. Come on, government can do better than this!

[Helen Brown @droversway]

Our caravans are a minimum of 6m between , we have no shared facilities barring fresh air , our owners would be safer here than in their town apartments.

[HARPA_UK @HARPA_UK]

Could holiday parks open sooner?

@CMO_England giving careful thought

Explaining the impact of closure & intrinsic self-distancing of self-contained park accommodation with min 5m spacing and cont'd closure of shared facilities

@10DowningStreet @OliverDowden @HuddlestonNigel

[Helen Brown @droversway]

We are allowed to open the fishing lakes on park and anyone can walk the footpaths through the Park but the owners can't use their caravans , more intelligent thought needs to be put to this

[HARPA_UK @HARPA_UK]

Thank you Glenn @PearleLakePark for explaining how holiday parks work for their private caravan owners: "safe form of holiday and with respect for the local community"

[Helen Brown @droversway]

With acres of space and 6m distance holiday caravans have to be safe environments

[HARPA_UK @HARPA_UK]

Transport Sec @GrantShapps confirms lower risk outdoors than indoors. Jonathan Van Tam promises 'careful thought' to outdoor holidays in caravans & camping, staying within family groups.

The industry, our customers & our local communities count on you to #ProtectTourismJobs

[Helen Brown @droversway]

more information to help us @ACunninghamMP please

[HARPA_UK @HARPA_UK]

We have written to Prof Whitty @CMO_England to explain mental health benefits of outdoor holidays, how our customers come in household groups & the intrinsic self distancing of self-contained accommodation with min 5m spacing with cont’d closure of shared facilities for safety

[Helen Brown @droversway]

please look at this UK Govt.@ACunninghamMP

[HARPA_UK @HARPA_UK]

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 Just published by @WelshGovernment
“Unlocking our society and economy: continuing the conversation” Much work ahead & no dates, but accommodation without shared facilities to open at AMBER so hoping eg holiday parks with facilities closed https://t.co/XfEiX0wmos

[Helen Brown @droversway]

thanks BH & HPA for looking out for us , let's hope our contribution to the economy is not overlooked.
