New pilot scheme for motorhomes to stay overnight at Le Port

• Video report by Hamish Auskerry

A new pilot scheme to allow overnight stays at Le Port in St Ouens has been agreed in principle, Jersey's Infrastructure Minister has told ITV Channel.

Overnight stopovers were banned following an increase in complaints about anti-social behaviour in 2019.

This led to a petition followed by a States vote in the same year agreeing to make plans for designated camping spots around the island.

The agreement is for a permit scheme allowing up to four motorhomes and campervans to stay at Le Port for a trial period.

But there no date has been set as yet.

Steve Pallett lodged the proposition to find suitable camping sites around the island but says the trial permit scheme does not go far enough.
