Campaigners say a levy would fund repairs to crumbling roads to cope with soaring numbers of the vehicles.

Bring back the bridge! Campervan numbers are just too high to be sustainable for our roads. It needs a cap, nevermind more taxes. And there’s a far easier way to enforce it: if caught overnight in a layby or carpark face £200/night fines. Buy a site and hookup or don’t come. Instead book a bus tour, or get a hotel - or even a hostel! Or consider camping, or a B&B, or a day trip

    Not an islander so not for me to decide one way or the other but if the sheer volume of traffic is causing an issue then I don’t think it’s unreasonable to expect tourists to foot at least part of the bill. The money is going into the local economy already but the roads don’t pay for themselves.
