New Age travellers camp to be built with £1 million public money

[Saint_Pedro]

"The site at Haldon Hill, near Exeter, Devon, has been used illegally by travellers for 12 years, but is now to be revamped using £1.11 million of taxpayer’s money.

 

The proposal will replace the existing ramshackle camp with 15 official plots for “new travellers” under plans approved by Teignbridge District Council.

 

Communal allotments, a children’s play area and composting bins will all be installed at the site as part of the project.

 

Parking for visitors along with new sanitation will also be installed while the camp will have a permanent site manager.

 

It has been given approval under a Government initiative announced last year to provide £60 million of funding for new official gypsy and traveller sites."

 

 

Another "good" use of public money .......

That could have paid for a couple of gold plated coffin handles FFS....

TBH if it stops them "illegally" parking somewhere else and completely ruining it then I'm all for it...but then they must change the law that if they do park "illegally" they can be moved on to an "official" site straight away, not after 2 weeks of court cases...
