PARK RULES FOR FOREST ROAD PARK

The following rules are in place to ensure acceptable standards are maintained on the park, which will be of general benefit to all occupiers, to promote and maintain community cohesion. They form part of the agreement by which home owners occupy the pitch, in accordance with the mobile homes act 1983 (as amended). The rules are designed to ensure that all may live peacefully in unspoilt surroundings and have not been compiled to place unnecessary restrictions on occupiers. We are sure that, provided the rules are accepted in the right spirit our park will continue to be a happy community.

In these rules:

“Occupier” means anyone who occupies a park home, whether under a tenancy or any other agreement.

“You and your” refers to the homeowner or other occupier of a park home.

“We and our” refers to the park owner.
