The Use of second holiday homes / Caravan parks
Most sites amenities are closed anyway but surely you can use your caravan as still paying site fees. The park is open as there are NHS staff in Dunoon staying there so why cant people be trusted to observe the social distancing rules and be allowed to travel to their caravan? I've been home 6 weeks now and rest assured I have no contact with anyone, my partner not even working. Why cant we travel an hour to be in a more relaxed space which will undoubtedly help us both mentally as well.
Please don't lock the thread like others admin!!

Can safely adhere to social distancing, no contact with other members of public.

Whenever, as here, I read lots of comments from rural or island residents saying "stay away so we don't get sick" I always detect the subtext of "go spread it instead within the crowded cities and overwhelmed city hospitals where we would expect people to die of disease.... but do send your city cash in bailing out our rural tourist industry please".
Of course we should reduce the spread but reducing population density in cities is part of that too. Time to think of a more nuanced way to permit some use of caravans etc without too much risk.

There is however a concern about insurance cover which often states that properties should not be empty for more than 60 days.
On the whole, despite my personal interest in wanting to visit my second home, I think this restriction should not be a priority for lifting early on. It might be linked to phased lifting of travel restrictions.
