PARK RULES FOR WALTON BAY

The following rules of occupation are for the good management of Mobile home Parks and the benefit of al who use them. These rules form part of the agreement by which you occupy your pitch in accordance with the Mobile Homw act (1983)

These rules have not been compiled to restrict residents but rather to ensure that they may live peacefully in unspoilt surroundings. It will be appreciated that a mobile home resident lives in much closer proximity with other occupiers than a house dweller therefore, certain rules have to be compiled in the occupiers interests. Other rules are necessary so that the visual amenities of the park are preserved. We are convinced that provided occupiers accept these rules in the right spirit our park will be one of the happiest and most satisfied communities in the county.
