Gypsy and Traveller sites

Claire Young attended the Gypsy and Traveller sites drop-in run by Westerleigh Village Residents Association on Saturday. There was a good turnout despite the weather and there were some very interesting discussions.

Some people were unhappy that they hadn't received acknowledgement of their responses to the consultation, so they couldn't be sure they had been received and accepted. Claire has raised this with one of the officers leading the consultation and she says she will be sending out acknowledgements once all the responses have been recorded in their system.

One Lib Dem Councillor was told in an email that some sites in South Glos were being withdrawn from the list and others added, but when she asked which sites at Cabinet neither officers nor Cabinet members could tell her. We wait to see what this means for Westerleigh.
