Received a report on the future of the Council’s Authorised Gypsy Site at Eastbrookend, Dagenham. The Site was considered following a Best Value Review and changes in policy affecting management of unauthorised traveller encampments. The report provided an update on issues arising and proposed 6 options for the future of the site, as follows:
· Option 1 - No change.
· Option 2 - Sell land to Travellers.
· Option 3 - Closure of the site.
· Option 4 - Convert to short stay use only.
· Option 5 - Convert the site to a “Mobile Home Site”.
· Option 6 - Upgrade and convert to combine long and short stay use.
Agreed, in order to comply with legal requirements, best practice and government policy:
