From the Irish Traveller Movement in Britain
The Irish Traveller Movement in Britain has taken a significant step towards creating a new Traveller site in Basildon, with the Council deciding to lease the land to ITMB’s partners, Home Space Sustainable Accommodation (HSSA).

In December, last year, the Council’s Development Control Committee passed ITMB’s planning application for the Gardiner’s Way Traveller site. With Basildon’s decision to support the lease of the land, ITMB and HSSA are optimistic that they will be able to proceed with securing the funding for the development of the site from the Homes and Communities Agency Traveller sites grant.
