APPG to protect park home owners has as secretariat the site owners’ own trade body!

February 4, 2018 //  by Sebastian O'Kelly

For some extraordinary reason the All Party Parliamentary Group on park homes – set up to protect park home residents – has as its secretariat the site owners’ trade body, British Holiday and Home Parks Association

Pensioners in park homes are demanding that MPs dump the British Holiday and Home Parks Association trade body be dumped as secretariat of the All Party Parliamentary Group that was set up to protect residents.

The British Holiday and Home Parks Association is the organisation of the site owners!

The APPG on park homes is chaired by Christopher Chope MP.

Here is the British Holiday and Home Parks Association website:

BH&HPA Online – Welcome

The Leasehold Knowledge Partnership did intervene in December when veteran park homes campaigner Sonia McColl OBE had her park home stolen in what she believes was a motivated theft.

Mrs McColl was invited to address MPs of the All Party Parliamentary Group on leasehold reform of which Leasehold Knowledge Partnership / BetterRetirementHousing are the secretariat.

The issue was reported in many national media.

Park Home champion Sonia McColl OBE has her mobile home stolen … ‘after death threats’

Sonia McColl, OBE, who heads the Justice for Park Homeowners campaign has had her mobile home stolen. The 40ft long, 10-ton mobile home was stolen from a yard in Cullumpton, in Devon just as Sonia MColl was due to have it delivered today and move in.

Now www.BetterRetirementHousing.com reports a rebellion by park home owners to have control over their APPG.

The following press release, headed forthrightly “Crooks Charter”,  has been sent to BetterRetirementHousing.com

“We can start with the British Holiday and Home Parks Association.

Given far too much credence and not least in the extraordinary appointment of this trade body as secretariat and public point of contact in the current review to the All Party Parliamentary Group, they remain responsible for many of the problems …”

    HOW CAN THIS BE FAIR IS IT JUST TO HELP THE CROOKED PARK OWNERS MAKE MORE MONEY FROM THE ELDERLY WHO ARE ON VERY LIMITED INCOMES.
    THERE ARE NO POOR PARK OWNERS IN THE INDUSTRY.

    This is just one obstacle to getting justice for park home owners. With enormous protection in place, especially the 2013 Mobile Home Act, it looks like a safe place to buy a home and a lifestyle suitable for older residents, but it is anything but, The dream soon turns into a nightmare. The industry is being taken over by Unscrupulous Park Owners (UPOs), but despite all the protection in LAW, nothing actually works. The main culprits being local Councils, who are the guardians and enforcers of the Law, but they are afraid to act against this group of very rich site owners. My Council are as guilty as any, but when I went to the LGO, they basically said that Councils ‘DON’T have to use the legislation given to them’; what other LAW is optional? Now my Council are blocking all my emails, presumably under their ‘Head in the sand diplomacy Policy’. Don’t buy a Park Home until this is sorted, but who is listening?

    The current “Call for Evidence Part 2”, closes on 16th February.
