HOLIDAY home owners say they are getting a solicitor involved after receiving their marching orders from a city caravan park.
Caravan owners met for an emergency meeting on Saturday after they were told they had to leave the Ketch Caravan Park in Bath Road, Worcester, by October 31.
The packed private meeting happened at the Toby Carvery at 11am as regular holidaymakers from the 60 plus caravans from the site overlooking the River Severn met to discuss the implications of the letters sent out by Tremlo Limited.
A resident who attended the meeting said: "The main thing to come from the meeting is we are getting a solicitor to look at everything."
Worcester MP Robin Walker is also aware of the situation and said he had spoken to an agent of the owners, Jason Smith.
Mr Walker said caravan owners had been offered a half hour appointment to talk through the detail with the site managers.

"They say they have written to everyone at least three times to say they are happy to sit down and make arrangements with people," said Mr Walker.
The MP said the owners did have the legal right to give people six months' notice to leave the site and that he understood no documents had been submitted around any future development at the caravan park.
"He fully understands that would have to go through the planning process. He's not aware of any plans and he said the comments about 'pods' was pure speculation," Mr Walker said.
Mr Walker confirmed he had been contacted by a number of constituents who are concerned and he would continue to monitor the situation closely.
He said because the site prone to flooding he did not believe it was not suitable for the permanent structures of a housing development - but this was a matter for Worcester City Council's planning committee.
"There's a clear concern about the way this has been handled but I'm glad there's a process of communication in place and everyone is being offered a meeting," he added.
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."
The caravan park managers have so far declined to comment directly on the situation.
