Representation Summary:
The council needs to focus on promoting tourism that genuinely benefits the local area. In Allhallows, the Haven Holiday Park has brought chaos rather than positive impacts. Despite ongoing issues like crime—ranging from money laundering to violent incidents—and a significant rise in car accidents involving park visitors, the park continues to expand unchecked. The increase in antisocial behaviour and traffic problems has made the village less safe. It’s essential that tourism development enhances local well-being and safety, rather than exacerbating existing issues.
