GYPSY AND TRAVELLER ACCOMMODATION

West Lindsey District Council has now granted planning permission for the caravan site established at the far end of Westrum Lane - just beyond the North Lincolnshire boundary.
The West Lindsey authority has approved the change of use of land to a residential caravan site, including construction of road, hardstandings and retention of buildings and cess-tank.
However, another nearby application has been withdrawn - for 11 residential gypsy pitches with associated hardstanding and access at Kettleby Caravan Park, Kettleby Lane, Wrawby.
Brigg Town Council's planning and environment committee has this topic on the agenda for next Wednesday's meeting at the Angel Suite (6.45pm), under the heading Gypsy and Traveller Accommodation.
It says: "The Joint Meetings between Brigg Town Council, North Lincolnshire Council and West Lindsey District Council will now focus on resolving the need for residential pitches for the remaining gypsy families with long-standing and proven associations with the town and for transient provision that will also resolve the
ongoing issue of unauthorised encampment in Brigg."
