From the Leicester Mercury
A campaign to stop managed Gypsy and Traveller pitches could be heading to the high court.
Members of LE4 Action Group are looking at launching a judicial review into planning permission granted by Leicester City Council for 16 pitches on sites in Red Hill Way and Thurcaston Road.
Objectors said they were determined to derail the plans and were now considering turning to the courts after another potential barrier to the sites was overcome. The Department of Communities and Local Government had warned the council it might overrule the decision to grant planning permission.
However, yesterday it announced it would not call in the decisions. Secretary of State Eric Pickles ruled the decision should stay with the council.
