From the Citizen
A THIRD attempt is being made to finally wrap up the Newent Travellers inquiry.
It has been dragging on since November and adjourned twice already.
It resumed yesterday at the Community Centre with the inspector hearing from the objectors.
Planning officer Martin Hillier spoke on behalf of Forest of Dean District Council and Peter Tufnell was there representing the residents.
Todaythe sides are due to sum up their cases.
The inspector will then go away to consider the evidence and make a decision on whether the travellers should be allowed to stay on the site.
Residents and the council have been fighting for three years to remove travellers from the Southend Lane site. The inquiry is dealing with two appeals – one against an enforcement notice served by Forest of Dean District Council, and one against the rejection of plans to build a 13-pitch caravan site on the land.
