An injunction has been made by the High Court to stop all camping, including overnight camping, in selected areas during the Clacton Airshow period. The order will run from 00.01am on Thursday, 17 August through to 11.59pm on Saturday, 2 September, and covers specified areas in Clacton. It applies to any campervan, mobile home, caravan or tent. Failing to obey the order means someone can be held in contempt of court, with punishments including a potential prison sentence, fine or seized assets. The injunction was made in favour of TDC and Essex County Council, and follows a similar format as those made in previous years.
The open sites covered by the order involve land on the south side of Marine Parade West from Clacton Pier to Collingwood Road, as well as the Martello Bay area. Seafront roads covered are: Hastings Avenue (West Road to Selsey Avenue); Marine Parade West and West Road (between the junction with Marine Parade West/Wash Lane and Hastings Avenue). The car park land includes the Hastings Avenue, Hastings Bay and Martello Coach and Car Park sites.
