Statement regarding Gypsy and Traveller sites
Havant Borough Council is working closely with other local
authorities across Hampshire, together with South East Regional
Assembly (SERA) to determine where transit and permanent sites for
travellers could be placed in the county.
The document referred to in “The News” stating a public
consultation is now underway is referring to the Draft Homelessness
Strategy which does not have any impact on traveller sites being
planned for the borough.
Councillor David Collins, Portfolio Holder for Environment said
“As yet no sites have been identified in the borough, as we do not
know the level of provision we have to supply. We will be working
closely with
SERA
and a full public consultation will take place later in the
year”
