Malcolm Taylor, executive member for highways and transport, said: “The tourist economy in Scarborough and Whitby is vital to prosperity in the area, but we must try and strike the right balance between all road users.”
He said the trial ban on overnight parking was introduced after an increase in the number of people going on holiday in motor caravans, spending long periods of time in the same place and often taking up several parking spaces.
“Along with the police, we receive complaints about anti-social behaviour including reports of campfires and barbeques, leaving litter and defecating on the grass,” he added.
“Although most responses opposed the restrictions, we believe the aims of the trial have been reached and there is enough alternative provision.”
