When allocating additional permanent pitches for Gypsies and Travellers, we support the existing policy CS11, which requires under b.iii. for the site to be 'free from flood risk'. Caravans, mobile homes and park homes intended for permanent residential use are classed as 'highly vulnerable' so are not permitted in Flood Zone 3, require the exception test in Flood Zone 2, and are very difficult to make safe through raised flood levels. Therefore, we consider that this requirement for Gypsy and Traveller sites to be free from flood risk should be maintained in any new policy.

Gypsies and Travellers should be protected and not discriminated against.

Location is always going to be difficult; but we should insist on more smaller sites rather than larger sites such as West Meadows. Evidence suggests larger sites can cause more problems the larger they get.

Well, we are fairly disgusted that the west meadows site will be terminated. Lets face it - it is a fairly bleak site anyway - under pylons - who else would want it - at least it was somewhere - it is a contentious subject at best - why not support it to have better infrastructure and services?
