Caravan City as its been dubbed is a collection of caravans, motorhomes, and campervans of all shapes and sizes that have made their temporary home on the famous Clifton Downs in Bristol.
With Bristol being the second most expensive place to live with the average house price in the immediate area being over one million pounds the explosion in van dwellers on the downs and in the city overall has created division in how it should be handled.
With the council admitting to 800 van dwellers within the city but strong anecdotal evidence to suggest more this seems to be an issue that will continue to grow.
Sky high rents, cost of living, and many other factors have been quoted as to why so many are choosing this life.
Should the council and government do more?
What is the answer?
Today we take a look around the area known as Caravan City and try to get an understanding of the complex issues surrounding van dwellers in Bristol.
