So far 40 new pitches have been established or had planning permission granted
A council boss says the authority has identified further sites to house Gypsies and travellers as part of its attempt to meet a government requirement. Within the next five years, more than 100 additional Gyspy and Traveller pitches must be provided by the Newark and Sherwood District Council.
The Gypsy and Traveller communities in the district have been a longstanding part of the population, and as it grows the council needs to meet the housing needs of the community. So far more than 40 new pitches have been established or had planning permission granted. The potential site at Bowbridge Road has not been decided on yet with a decision expected in Autumn 2024.
