This public consultation asking for views on the preferred sites took place between 25 July and 19 September 2016.

The preferred options presented for the previous consultation were intended to help meet the projected requirement at that time for pitches over the next five years. Subsequent work to update the findings has shown that the level of provision required is lower than initially calculated.

The establishment of temporary stopping places will enable the movement of Travellers through the county to be managed more harmoniously, providing greater certainty for travellers and local residents.

Level of need will continue to be monitored on a regular basis to ensure accommodation requirements are being addressed.
