A CRUNCH meeting has been organised by holiday home owners to discuss the 'heartbreaking' situation at a city caravan park after everyone was told to leave.
Caravan owners are to meet at a nearby pub to demand answers and discuss what to do next after they were given their marching orders from Ketch Caravan Park in Worcester.
They will talk about the next step during the emergency meeting this Saturday at the nearby Toby Carvery in Bath Road at 11am.
A caravan owner said the aim of the meeting was for residents to 'pool their thoughts' and possibly have a solicitor go over the contract after they were told they had to leave the site by the end of October in a letter from Tremlo Limited.
We understand there are 60 plus caravans on the site overlooking the River Severn including statics and touring caravans but it is not yet clear how many will be able to attend the meeting. However, 77-year-old John Powell, one of the caravan owners, has confirmed he will be going. His disabled daughter Sarah has enjoyed the benefits of the caravan park when she stays there with her mum and dad.
The park managers have so far declined to discuss details of the move, put us in touch with the owners of the park or lay out any plans for the site once the people staying there have left.

Meanwhile, another letter has now been sent to caravan owners telling them what to do if they do not wish to sell their static or remove it at the end of the season.
The letter from Jason Smith of J and E Smith, managers of the site, says caravan owners can contact him in writing and arrange for caravans to be scrapped at a cost of £500 plus VAT.
The letter also refers to whether static caravans can be removed before the end of the season. "This will be determined on a case-by-case basis. Depending on the location of the caravan on the park and if removing the caravan will cause a nuisance or disruption to other static owners on the park. Should you wish to remove your caravan before the end of the season please contact me in writing at the above address," the letter reveals.
Another caravan owner has been in touch about the impact of the decision.
She said: "I own a caravan on this site and I cannot begin to tell you how upset and disappointed I am.
"A letter out of the blue from a company called TREMLO That has never been mentioned to us before demanding we need to leave the park and to remove our caravans by the end of the year. This is devastating
"After scouring the internet all day and night I am still none the wiser in finding a contact number for this company I cannot even discover who owns the park itself as no one is giving us straight answers."
The original letter, sent to caravan owners, reads: "You will need to leave the Park by that date and to make arrangements to remove the holiday home and any other personal possessions from the Park by no later than November 30, 2023 (being one month from the date of termination).
"The Agreement will of course remain in force until October 31, 2023, and you will be entitled to continue to occupy the holiday home until that date."
