Where should East Devon set up new travellers' sites?

Communities and landowners in east Devon are being asked where they think gypsy and travellers' sites should be located within the district.

The council needs to find 37 new travellers' sites and 23 houses for gypsies and travellers within the next 20 years - with 22 of the pitches needing to be allocated in five years.

It's been suggested that some of them could be located in the Cranbrook expansion area but this hasn't been decided yet - others will be needed elsewhere in the district.

A consultation's underway until September 21st and all town and parish councils are invited to contribute, as well as landowners, developers and other organisations.
