Secret FB Group | Holiday Parks Uncovered

Mr. Shanks founded a private Facebook group.

Stuart Shanks along with a resident founded and ran a private Facebook group, in this group, there are many discussions about letting units and how holiday homeowners stay under the radar from the council. Living onsite full-time. This includes Stuart running a post room for the owners, advice being given on how to avoid the council finding out and a large number of discussions about living onsite full-time. All of which is against site rules and the contract. This was happening during the time Pure Leisure LTD and then Royal Resorts were in charge. It is still happening today under Meadow Bay Villages.

Year created: 2021. Mr. Shanks is the founding member of the private Facebook group.

Year 2021: Anti-holiday home owners - is this a reference to the fact the council licences the site for 10 months?

Year 2023: Mail box has been running for at least 3 years. Again, why would you need a mailbox on a holiday only site?
