CARAVANS could be banned from parts of Clacton seafront as part of an overhaul of parking restrictions in the resort.

The North Essex Parking Partnership and Tendring Council have proposed restricted parking for lorries and coaches on part of the seafront from Martello Bay to Holland.

There will also be restricting camper vans and caravans from Clacton Pier to Martello Bay.

It is hoped the move will also stop travellers from affecting Clacton Air Show.

Last year a dozen caravans camped in Marine Parade West, next to the Greensward just two days before the air show took to the skies, which led to fears the show would not be able to go ahead as traders were blocked from using the site.
