Bettws Gypsy site protesters set to march

RESIDENTS fighting plans for a Gypsy site in Bettws will march to Newport’s council offices to voice their opposition tomorrow. 

Householders in will gather at Bettws Shopping Centre at 10am and then assemble at The King’s Head Hotel in Newport at 11.15am before marching to the civic centre to hand in a petition.
Four hundred people crammed into Bettws Social Club on Monday night for a meeting led by a group of residents, called ‘Say no to the permanent or temporary caravan site in Bettws’ to discuss a plans for a site at Yew Tree Cottage.
The group’s chairman, Kevin Whitehead, said it was not a racist issue and asked anyone in favour of the site coming to Bettws to raise their hand.
None did.
