For too long the travelling folk of the UK have been ignored. Not only do they bring their own homes on tow, but they are generally hard working, young families highly experienced in tarmaccing of drives and potholes. Such an influx would attract greater investment to the area in recognition of the contribution the local community would be making. To my mind the area, dare I say it, caravan park around the Village Hall would be an ideal location with 24hr access to the toilets and community facilities. Overspill could be catered for along by the harbour where there is ample hard standing, and adequate coastal breeze to blow rubbish out of sight inland.
Of course these are not just any old caravans, but double and even triple axled homes on wheels with every modern convenience including bay windows. Roaming dogs and barefoot children gayly playing amongst the yellow "Motorway maintenance" tipper trucks and transit vans, will convey a thriving community to tourists rather than one that is dying under the weight of its own problems. Once established you'll find more tourists and RV's will venture out to Ellenabeich bringing further prosperity for the area. There's a new breed of "vanners", younger and more adventurous than the traditional handlebar moustached Caravan Clubbers who prefer cutting edge Extreme Caravanning. A cross between storm chasers and caravan swingers they seek the hide-aways where they can enjoy their caravans being rocked all night.
So, no fear, Caravans are good for Seil. Low cost accomodation, attracting young families who like a bit of night life.
