- We are actively looking to expose Park Resorts UK holiday parks, for the corrupt way in which they conduct there business, thinking they can control and dictate to what they see as being the little people that pay for either a holiday home, or for a vacation with them, and in the long run pay their wages. Now we have put together this blog to create a forum for who they see as little people to have one BIG voice. Email us at info@park-resorts.info

Park Resorts Utility rates
Monday, 10 May 2010
I recently had an interesting email from one of our readers, with regards to Utility bills, i.e Gas and water. It has been said that some pitches don't have proper meters for reading the gas which is illegal, the readers states
" If your caravan is supplied by PIPED gas and it is not registered by a meter for the amount you have used,IT IS ILLEGAL FOR PARK RESORTS OR I PRESUME ANY OTHER PARK OWNER,TO CHARGE YOU FOR GAS USED,as there is NO proof as to the amount used to be able to charge you an accurate bill. If you have been charged for gas in this way,you are entitled to have the payments returned,so look at your gas box outside your caravan and see if it has a meter inside it,and if not,look out all your gas bills!
"
This sounds interesting a possible way to get money back from the predatory shark resorts. He also goes on to say
" Check also that the Park has what is known as a REGULATION 4 NOTICE to be able to legally charge you for water and general rates. Water charges for caravan sites are based on RATEABLE VALUE BY THE LOCAL COUNCIL and if they do not have this notice which shows how much the RATEABLE VALUE FOR ALL THE CARAVANS ON THE WHOLE OF THE PARK IS AND DIVIDED BY THE NUMBER OF CARAVANS ON THE PARK SO THAT EACH INDIVIDUAL CARAVAN HAS A RATEABLE VALUE. THE WATER RATES FOR EACH VAN IS THEN CHARGED AT A PERCENTAGE OF THE RATEABLE VALUE. THIS REGULATION 4 NOTICE WILL SHOW WHAT THE RATEABLE VALUE IS AND YOU ARE QUITE ENTITLED TO ASK TO INSPECT IT TO SEE WHAT IT SAYS.IF THEY DO NOT HAVE THIS NOTICE THEY CANNOT LEGALLY CHARGE YOU FOR RATES OR WATER,SO QUESTION THIS ALSO WHEN PRESENTED WITH A BILL. "
Hey hey! could this be another way to get out of paying the water bill they send you, make sure you check this out for your self with your park. I would also be interested to hear from anyone who are charged for gas without a meter in place, and if anyone finds out a park does not have a Regulation 4 Notice.
Until next time Campers ...
