Gipsy site meetings

URGENT meetings have been organised by the district council to discuss proposals for gipsy sites that have caused controversy across North Wiltshire.

The Malmesbury area committee will meet on June 5 at the town hall, while the Cricklade and Wootton Bassett committee goes into session on June 9 at the Memorial Hall in Wootton Bassett.

Calne and Corsham committees are also convening.

A furore erupted earlier this month when it emerged that NWDC was looking at six potential locations for a new site, including Stoneover Lane at Wootton Bassett along with Stanley Lane and Hardens Mead, Chippenham.

The consultation ends on June 20.
