The subject of caravan sites has stirred debate among council members in Cheshire, it has been revealed.
According to thisischeshire.co.uk, Labour and Liberal Democrats representatives are at loggerheads over whether developers should be allowed to set up satellite travellers’ sites.
Councillors in the area have knocked back numerous applications for permanent sites, but some believe there are not enough provisions in place.
“This council has failed in its duty to provide suitable sites for travellers in this area,” the newspaper reported Labour councillor for Poplars and Hulme John Kerr-Brown as saying.
“They are having no responsibility to the community or travellers.”
A number of recreational campsites exist in Cheshire, such as Manor Wood, which features 25 super pitches surrounding a lake, as well as level grass areas for a further 25 caravans.
The site also has a heated swimming pool, climbing frame, fishing, tennis courts and internet facilities set within ten acres of countryside.
