Council seeks alternative sites for gipsy and travellers' sites

Landowners across East Devon are being asked to suggest locations for new gipsy and travellers' sites - after Cranbrook residents strongly opposed plans for 30 pitches in the town.


The district council says it wants to look at other sites as well and if suitable ones can be found, the number of pitches in Cranbrook will be lowered.

Cranbrook town council say they want to make it clear that they're not against having any gipsy or travellers' sites, but the total number of 37 pitches should be scattered across the district rather than 81 per cent being in Cranbrook.
