Our idyllic seaside town is being DESTROYED by fleet of camper vans turning it into a disgusting rubbish-strewn junkyard A ROW has broken out between seaside residents and so-called van dwellers who they claim have taken over a beauty spot and turned it into a "junkyard".
Tensions have flared since a growing number of modified camper vans started parking overnight at Lake Pier in Hamworthy, near Poole, Dorset.
The idyllic spot overlooking Poole Harbour has no overnight parking restrictions and now about a dozen vans have set up permanent camp.
They are calling on the council to introduce overnight parking fees to deter the lifestyle choice which is becoming increasingly popular in the cost of living crisis.
However, the van dwellers received support from a local Labour councillor who said “people have rights to live how they choose”.
