The Marlborough District Council has agreed to review its freedom camping bylaw "with urgency" for the fourth time in 13 years.

It came after concerns from rural residents and businesses being unhappy with freedom campers and requesting the council makes changes.

Local, Barbara Faulls, said that campers snuck onto her accomodation park at night to steal or use facilities, and would often abuse or attack other users.

What are your thoughts? Should the council make changes to its current policies?
