An elderly couple said they fear they will be kicked out of a caravan park as their chalet is "not modern enough".
The Dicksons have been using their wooden chalet at the Mourneview Caravan Park in Newcastle, Northern Ireland, for over 30 years.
However, they fear they will have to leave in one year after the park owners gave them a notice saying they would not renew their site licence for the 2023 season.
The notice said that the decision was made because "the time has now come to refresh some of the caravans on some pitches", Belfast Live reports.
It also said that there were a number of caravans within the site that "looked old or outdated" and that it feels it can no longer accommodate these in the park.

The couple's daughter, Cathy Graham, said that she feels her parents are being unfairly treated.
She explained their chalet is not a caravan and is in keeping with other chalets located beside it which are used as a meeting space and cafe.
She said: "My parents are among a number of owners here at the caravan park that have been served notice to leave the site, saying that their caravans are not modern enough and they have to upgrade.
"However, they do not actually have a caravan, they have a chalet that used to be the site office that they have renovated.
"My parents took over the chalet from my grandmother after she passed away and since then they have spent thousands on maintaining and developing it into what it is today."
In the notice, Milne Holiday Parks gave the couple the option to purchase an upgraded caravan from them with a £1,000 discount and one year's free site rental.
Mr Dickson said: "Since receiving the notice I have tried to find out exactly what grounds they have given for not renewing our licence. It was a generic letter referring to caravans, when in fact we have a chalet, not a caravan.
"We have always made sure it is of the best quality, with it being painted and varnished every year with a modern roof and double glazed windows.
"All we have been told is that it is the site owner's decision without any other explanation."
Cathy continued: "With more people staying at home, caravan parks are trying to cash in and are demanding that people buy new expensive ones or leave the site altogether.
"Caravan owners have very little rights with regards to this, no matter how long they have been on a site and most are not in a position to suddenly be able to buy a new one."
The Mirror has contacted Milne Holiday Parks for comment.
