Bath Gypsy Sites

Talks over plans for six controversial gypsy and traveller sites across Bath and North East Somerset are to continue despite claims tonight the process in selecting them is flawed.

B&NES is the only authority in the region to have no authorised traveller sites but campaigners this afternoon packed a meeting to argue against locating them in their communities. Richard Payne reports

Controversial plans for six gypsy and traveller sites across Bath and North East Somerset are being discussed by the council today.

The authority is the only one in the region to have no authorised traveller sites.

Members of the public have packed out a special meeting at Bath's Guildhall to speak against the council's recommendations.
