1. Background

1.1 Previous discussions (on 9th November 2017 and 14th December 2017) concerning the Proposed Residential Gypsy/Traveller Site at Bleu Raye Farm, Mill Gate, Fen have touched upon the distances that residents of the site would have to travel to access services.

2. Purpose of this document

2.1 The Joint Committee considered that it might be helpful to provide information on these distances, and to provide comparative distances for the thirteen existing Gypsy, Traveller and Travelling Showpeople Sites in South Holland District.

2.2 This document sets out a table which identifies the shortest journey on the public highway from the sites to the closest:

 primary school;  secondary school;  G.P. surgery;  general shop;  Post Office;  bank; and  playing field.

2.3 It also includes a map showing the locations of the sites.
