.BH&HPA, Camp & Glamp Glastonbury, & Holiday Resort Unity, you’ve got my support; always have, always will. I’m very aware of how important tourism is to Somerset & I’m engaged with ministerial colleagues to make sure you’re supported. You kindly acknowledged last month. Any chance of a few less @ s?

Well measured and put Tim Farron you have a unique ability to put a balanced view on events and subjects that pass your desk, on BBC Politics from the Lakes Caravan industry BH&HPA we thank you for your continued interest and support

Used my first speech in the new virtual Parliament to urge ministers to provide a 12 month support package for hospitality & tourism. When the lockdown ends the industry will have missed out on the feast of summer and will have to keep afloat just as the famine of winter begins.

.Peter Aldous “holiday parks, campsites...well suited to...workplace safety...considered for phased..reopening? Paul Scully “...We work closely with them...due attention to that advice, so that all coastal areas are...looked after..” hansard.parliament.uk/Commons/2020-0…

Written to Prof Whitty Professor Chris Whitty to explain mental health benefits of outdoor holidays, how our customers come in household groups & the intrinsic self distancing of self-contained accommodation with min 5m spacing with cont’d closure of shared facilities for safety

Yesterday I did my weekly shopping and spent more time in contact with other people in an hour than I would have done in a week long holiday in a self catering caravan or motor caravan. Come on, government can do better than this!

It just shows No.10 Press Office, that Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Gov have no idea how our industry works and how diverse it is..we should never have been closed. Did Boris Johnson not see Skelwith Fold CP on BBC Breakfast last Thursday..you couldn't find a safer place. Listen to your MPs Tim Farron

Nowhere across the Continent did they reopen hospitality but leave campsites closed because of their wash blocks. Their experience is a success: happy campers, jobs & communities protected UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak Michael Gove Oliver Dowden Nigel Huddleston MP Matt Hancock

Dear Boris Johnson Campsites have weeks until autumn. To deny families the great outdoors & single them out for extended lockdown against scientific logic and international experience, is to sign their business death warrant. ⁦UK Prime Minister⁩ ⁦Michael Gove⁩

.Henry Wild ⁦Skelwith Fold CP⁩ explains inaugural meeting of the APPG on Holiday Parks & Campsites convened by Peter Aldous Tim Farron delighted to support, explains APPG can make non-partisan case for an industry so integral to Lake District & UK tourism. Thank you Tim!

.BH&HPA national chairman ⁦Andrew Baragwanath⁩: parks are working on reduced capacity Yes, we have been very busy July & August but we would expect to be, but the three months when we were closed is very difficult to recover #ProtectTourismJobs

Well done Castlerigg Hall for a splendid performance on BBC Breakfast talking about the realism of this pandemic, great advice coming from BH&HPA and Cumbria Tourism, well done Gill Haigh

.⁦BBC Breakfast⁩ coming from ⁦Castlerigg Hall⁩ this morning ... holiday park industry, you can self-isolate ... your own caravan, motorhome or glamping ... enjoy your holiday with your family ... “Just head off out the lane and onto the fells and away you go”

Seems bizarre

Word for today 👌

Thank you ABI Holiday Homes Richard Jones @omarparkhomes Dean Westmoreland Prestige - Intelligent Homes - Beautifully Built Silvano Geranio Willerby Peter Munk for joining BH&HPA members for this morning’s webinar

After a long winter you've only got to look at the children smiling....blooming marvellous! ..accommodation 5 metres apart..made us feel more confident Stunning day in the Lakes: real buzz around..people enjoying holidays again! Henry Wild Skelwith Fold CP

A friend of mine in manufacturing came to see me just before lockdown, be careful i said, a perfect black storm is looming..his backers pulled the rug. Great to get a phone call last week, were back he said, better backers and more knowledge.... please back those who are trying!

“Without customers you haven't got income. Without an income you can't pay your loans or anything else, so I actually thought everything was going to disappear. I thought we'd lose everything so it was a very very worrying time” Huw Pendleton Celtic Holiday Parks
