🌍 Exciting development in Powys: Six potential sites are being explored for a new traveller camp! 🏕️ With the current site at Leighton Arches in Welshpool maxed out, the council is on the hunt for fresh space to accommodate 12 mobile homes and room for growth.
📍 Options on the table include five locations in Leighton and Forden, and another in Churchstoke. Your opinion matters! 🗣️ Share your thoughts before the consultation wraps up at the end of October.
Council leader Jake Berriman (Lib Dem) encourages locals to suggest more locations. Missed out on the current sites? Here’s the scoop:
– Leighton: Opposite Severnleigh/Stables/Coach House/Granary
– Southwest of Severnleigh
– Gwyn’s Barn
– Forden: North of Church Farm/Church Farm Close
– South/southwest of Church Farm/Church Farm Close
– Churchstoke: Fir House
Councillor Amanda Jenner (Tory) has raised vital questions about the transparency and scrutiny of this process. How will the council tackle each site review? Will there be public re-consultation? How are the voices of the gypsy and traveller communities being heard? 🤔
Council’s response to these pressing questions is expected by February 2. Stay tuned to see how this unfolds and have your say on this pivotal community matter! 🗳️ Remember, your input can shape the future of these developments. Let’s make a difference together! 💬 #PowysCommunity #TravellerSite #GetInvolved
