Gypsy site proposals are nodded through - Bedfordshire

From Luton Today

A committee has ratified proposals for a new Gypsy and Traveller site in Barton, despite residents’ pleas.

Central Beds Council’s list of new sites went before its executive committee on Monday.

The list will now go before full council on April 18.

“There’s still a number of occasions where we can beat this,” said Barton councillor Ian Shingler. “We’ve got full council, the statutory consultation, and if necessary we’ll take it to the Secretary of State.”
