A Wise Old Owl Once Said

28th of Dec, 2012 by wise old owl	0 Votes
I found this site by accident and am not at all surprised by what I have read here. I live on a Tingdene Park - fortunately NOT in a Tingdene home - and a few months ago the latest resident to buy one and move here found innumerable problems with his home. He has had various rectification work carried out, suffered a great deal of stress, and was eventually told by the Parks Director he was dealing with that "he should think himself lucky - other buyers are in a far worse state than he is...!"; what an admission to make - think that says it all about Tingdene build quality, reliability and attitude to their customers. We have found from experience since they bought this park about 20 years ago that they think they are above the law. They have changed, amended and rewritten the park rules to suit themselves [quite unlawfully, of course]; sent workmen to the park without any notification that disruptive work was to be carried out, and overall have shown such an arrogant attitude that I continue to be amazed that they still get customers. To say don't touch them with a barge pole is putting it mildly - they wouldn't know the truth if it hit them over the head - so, you have been warned...!!!

Purchasing a Park Home (residential) can be fraught with problems

You may not know your rights, a lot of Park Owners advertise, no Solicitors required, well they would, because they dont want a Solicitor telling you of all the pitfalls surrounding the purchase of a Park Home.

So before you purchase visit this site for sound advice

Are Park Owners Greedy

Status update

By Cranfield Shores Caravan Club
...

So just found our today that another one of our long standing residents has given up their caravan in Cranfield Caravan Park as the site fees are just too much!! My heart is broken!! I love Cranfield so much but as more and more of my friends leave so does a part of me:( The saying 'less is more' has never rung more true, if the fees were LESS the MORE people would have stayed, but unfortunately its a lesson too late!

Guess they are

Robert Holland

The following is a Tribute to the late Mr. Robert Holland, founder of Park Home Congress

TRIBUTE TO THE LATE ROBERT HOLLAND FROM D/INSPECTOR MARK COLOQUHOUN

Mark Colquhoun
D/Insp 3748 F.I.B. sent just before Bob passed away but Mark asked me to post it here.

...

Bob, I wanted to write to you to say how sorry I am to hear of your illness and to thank you for all your work in seeking to improve the lives of park home residents across the country. Words seem inadequate sometimes and there are occasions such as this when I wish I could be more articulate in how I express myself, but I'll try my best.

In order to live, we all have to die, and while there's very few of us who would want to hasten that event, all of us will have to face it at some point. As a police officer, I've unfortunately seen more death and tragedy than most people should have to. What always stayed with me; the incidents I remember the most were the ones where life was wasted. A young person dying from a drugs overdose; the man killed in a pub over a stupid argument about nothing; the parent killed driving home because they couldn't not answer that mobile phone. Death is easy; it's living that's hard; and even harder to live your life in a way that is worthwhile. In my judgement, the measure of a man, the measure of a life lived, is not the money you amass, the fame you collect or even the skills and talents you have; it's the choices you make; how you spend the time allotted to you and the difference you have made to the lives of others.

If we're lucky we'll perhaps leave this world having touched the lives of those few closest to us. Through your work with congress and park homes, you have gone beyond that to touch the lives of many current and future residents, some of whom will know you, some of whom won't, but all of whom owe you a tremendous debt of gratitude.

I started off by saying how sorry I was to hear of your illness. There is however, no pity in that sentiment. You should be tremendously proud of your achievements, tremendously hopeful of what the future has for park home residents, and while you reach the end of one journey and the start of the commencement of another, feel satisfaction and contentment at a life well lived.

God Bless,
