Permanent gypsy sites
 
Does anyone know where I can find a list of permanent sites for gypsy/traveller caravans in the Blackburn/Hyndburn/Rossendale areas.
Thank you
JB

don't know if this is of any use......haven't really read it thoroughly.

Plans to create dozens of new travellers' sites in East Lancs (From Lancashire Telegraph)

I just googled the question and there were many answers...perhaps if the link above proves to be of little help then you could try the google search for further answers.

I have yet to understand the concept of permanent sites for travellers.

I think a permanent site for travellers relates to the fact that the site is permanent, but the residents may not be.
This means that travellers should be able to locate and park on a site that has permanent facilities, water,electricty, showers...but that they are required to pay for such site services.
I am sure if I have got it all wrong someone will correct me.

That may well be the case, but I think that the concept was for Travellers to have sites with permanent facilities........that they could use legally and with the blessing of local authorities.
Maybe this site was so good that the travellers who moved there no longer wanted to be nomadic.

Well the West's have lived on that site for as long as I can remember, think they must be into the 3rd generation on there now Margaret, if not more, they are also quite successful businessman who pay their taxes and council tax like everybody else

Must be a good site if three generations have been brought up there.

It is good to hear that you were looked after by those good people Cashy.
It is so easy to label a whole group of people with something that they do not deserve...we must remember that there are exceptions that test the rule(or generalisation).

i do try too, but in the main those who travel about do not garner any respect whatsoever.;)

Yes, you are right, but forgive me....if these people have been there for that length of time surely they aren't travellers anymore?
