COPELAND Council's 'Call for Sites' process to invite landowners to nominate potential locations for Gypsy and traveller sites in the borough is nearing its deadline.
A Cumbria-wide Gypsy and Traveller Accommodation Needs Assessment is currently being produced to identify needs across the county. Initial findings indicate there is a need for 12 permanent Gypsy and traveller pitches in Copeland up to the year 2035. It is anticipated the assessment will be completed in May this year.
The process runs until May 21, and full details on how to respond can be found at https://www.copeland.gov.uk/content/copeland-local-plan
