A PUBLIC consultation on possible locations for new travellers sites in East Yorkshire has been launched.
East Riding of Yorkshire Council is planning to build two new sites and has submitted a range of proposals for land around Driffield, Bridlington, Beverley and Cottingham, with residents having until May 6 to give their views.
Studies have shown 25 extra travellers pitches are needed in the area over the next five years. Previous proposals led to the council favouring two sites in Cottingham, and surveyors have now suggested land south of Woldgate, in Bridlington, could be used.
The authority has said it also wants to hear views on “alternative ways of meeting the needs of the traveller community”. The consultation can be found at eastriding.gov.uk
