Gypsies and Travellers Development Plan consultation begins today, with engagement events to start next month

You can now have your say on the Gypsies and Travellers Development Plan Document, as the consultation begins today (Tuesday 20 August) until 5pm on Friday 4 October.

To enable you to find out more about the Development Plan Document and ask questions, we are holding five engagement events at different locations around the county in September where you can drop-in to find out more, and one online engagement event.

You can read the Gypsies and Travellers Development Plan Document and supporting consultation documents on our website and at the main council offices at County Hall, Trowbridge, Monkton Park, Chippenham, and Bourne Hill, Salisbury. The plan will also be available in many of our libraries.

You can share your views through our online portal, and anyone without internet access can visit a library to use the computers, or contact us to get a written copy of the representation form and find out how to view the documents.

Information about what types of issues you can comment on will be available on our website.

The list of engagement events is as follows. You can just turn up at any time during the in-person events, which are drop-in sessions – there is no need to book. However, if you wish to attend the online event, you must sign up beforehand.
Anyone with an interest in the Plan can attend any of the in-person events – they do not need to choose the one nearest to them.
