A petition calling for facilities for motorhomes in Morecambe car parks will be officially heard by Lancaster City Council at a meeting.
The e-petition, signed by 113 people, will be formally presented to the council at a meeting at Morecambe Town Hall tomorrow (December 14).
The petition says: "We the undersigned petition the council to provide facilities within Morecambe car parks for visitors with motorhomes.
"Both city and county councils need to respect their clientele i.e. council tax payers who are the bread and butter of council funding throughout the year.
"Residents pay very high prices for their properties along (Marine Road), thus very high council tax.
"For far too long visitors to Morecambe with their own motorhomes, have largely been ignored and left to their own devices.
"Very few sites catering for them, unable to park overnight on council parks and no facilities anywhere.
"This could be set at the same nominal charge at selected sites, and there are many, providing: single toilet unit for waste matter, free standing tap providing fresh water."
Residents have often complained about the number of motorhomes parking along the front in Morecambe.
Motorhomes can already park in specified Lancaster City Council car parks, but sleeping in motorhomes on council car parks is not allowed.
The council's website has a list of car parks where motorhomes can park in the Lancaster and Morecambe district (note - search 'motorhomes' to find the relevant page).
It says: "Standard pay and display tickets should be purchased for all bays used and motorhomes should not overhang parking bays.
"For longer motorhomes it is suggested end to end parking bays are utilised and two tickets are purchased."
The website also lists local caravan parks where motorhomes can stay.
The petition will be presented to the council by Susanne Smith.
Councillors will not debate the issue tomorrow, as a petition requires 500 signatures for this to happen.
The petitioner will have up to five minutes to speak, and will receive a response from the head of the relevant council service.
The meeting of full council starts at 6pm and is open to the public.
