PARK RULES FOR NORTHFIELD PARK

Introduction

The following rules are in place to ensure acceptable standards are maintained on the park, which will be of general benefit to occupiers, and to promote and maintain community cohesion. They form part of the Agreement by which homeowners 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.
