“I would now like to offer all my new residents the assurance that we will pay their electric and gas bills for the next two years from the day they move in.
“Park home living is the best way for a growing number of people who would like to live in modern but manageable houses and enjoy the perks of being part of a healthy community.”
The homes are a 12-month fully residential parks with their own postal address, and they should not be mistaken for holiday parks.
Park home estates boast of strong communities which provide a significant social capital for their residents.
A spokesperson for the park said: “We hope that this offer of free gas and electric for two years will be able to ease these fears and make the move to your new park home as stress-free as possible."
