Go-ahead for Gypsy sites consultation

From Dunstable Today

Central Beds councillors voted on Thursday to proceed with a public consultation on a shortlist of Gypsy and Traveller sites.

The list includes nine new pitches which could be created at Green Vale in Watling Street, south of Dunstable, where a number of Traveller families already live and a caravan sales business operates.

Councillor Nigel Young, in charge of the plan, said: “The support by the council doesn’t amount to a decision on any of the sites .

“It simply means that it supports the publication of the full plan and shortlist for public consultation.”
