John Fareham and
John Abbott report that the Council are still trying to find a site for a short
term traveller camp which would allow travellers to stop over for few days
while on the way to somewhere else.
At a recent
scrutiny meeting we were given the impression that a site had been selected
elsewhere in the city. Had this actually been the case it would have been
excellent news for parts of the city that have had their fill of traveller
behaviour. However, on checking with the officers, we found that this was not
actually the case but that they were still trying to identify somewhere
suitable. Taken together with the rate of progress on the building work on
sites which were targeted by travellers in the past and might be again, this
could, if it comes to fruition, mean that travellers have less chance to come
here now and no need to do so in the future.
