Issue - meetings

Cabinet received a report on the outcome of a consultation on proposals to declare the county council's three traveller sites surplus to the County Council's needs.

In considering the report, Cabinet noted the results of the public consultation, and the equality analysis. It was stressed that, in taking the proposal forward, Cabinet would seek to engage fully with existing residents and the relevant local authorities. It was also emphasised that the level of capital receipt from the sales of the sites would not be the deciding factor in future decisions.

Resolved: That

  i.  the findings from the public consultation and the findings and analysis contained in the Equality Impact Assessment be noted

  ii.  the Traveller sites be declared surplus to the County Council's needs.

  iii.  Existing residents and the relevant local authorities would be fully engaged in the process of disposal.
