As you will know the Caravan Site has not yet opened this season as we took the decision not to start moving vans out of their Winter Storage in the week of 23rd March. We also placed a barrier at the site entrance to deter any casual visitors that may appear. However, taking full note of current guidelines and regulations and some guesswork on how the government may open up the leisure and accommodation sectors of the economy, we are planning for a safe opening as soon as regulations allow.
This has included discussions with staff on extra cleaning and enhanced procedures to keep them and our tenants safe and protected and taking care to ensure the virus in not carried into the village. Important here is making every caravan unit self sufficient in toilet facilities and reserving our services block for washing and showering and even then limiting access to one or two people at a time. We are also fortunate that each of the pitches on the site is at least 9 metres apart from the next.
A packing list has been drawn up including a thermometer, extra towels for hand drying after washing and the charge to test everyone in the family for fever before driving to the site.
Not all villagers will know that our tenant families largely consider themselves part of the community with most having maintained a tenancy over 10 years and some with over 50 years seasonal occupation! You may also not know that tenancies are for a whole season and sub-letting is not allowed at all so our caravan community is like an extension of Walberswick, with a close identity to and respectful of the way the village works. It really goes without saying all of our families are in love with Walberswick and would be devastated should they cause any harm to the village in any way.
