Calls have been made for action after unauthorised camping was reported at Tyne Green in Hexham, where caravans, campervans and tents have been pitching up against regulations.

The popular Northumberland park has been affected throughout the summer, with the camping described as a significant and ongoing issue.

Pressure to tackle the problem

The concerns have prompted Hexham’s mayor to demand a crackdown on the unauthorised camping. The report does not specify what enforcement measures are being proposed, or which organisation would lead any response.

Residents and visitors to Tyne Green may therefore be affected by the continued presence of camping vehicles and tents, although no further detail is provided about the impact on access, facilities or the park’s wider use.
