Purbeck residents have say on Gypsy sites - Dorset

RESIDENTS in Purbeck will soon be able to have their say on possible Gypsy and Traveller sites.
District councillors have agreed to consult from tomorrow to February 10 on the suitability of four possible sites.

They are County Farm in Swan-age, land off High Street in Hers-ton Cross, Swanage, land at Wash-pond Lane and Ulwell Road, Swan-age, and between Meadow View and Lancresse in Wool.
People will be able to comment at exhibitions held at The Mow-lem in Swanage on Monday, from 3.30pm-7.30pm and at D’Urber-ville Centre in Wool on Thursday, December 1 between 2pm-5pm.
Purbeck District Council leader Gary Suttle said: “It is a government directive that we have to find suitable sites in the district.
“If we do not carry out a consultation, it makes the district more vulnerable and gives us less defence against unscrupulous planning applications in inappropriate areas."
