Plans for travellers site
PLANS to expand a travellers site on the edge of Malvern will go before councillors tomorrow.
Malvern Hills District Council is looking to link up with Worcestershire County Council to bid for money to enlarge the Malvern Meadows site at Blackmore Park.
It currently has five pitches, but the district council is looking at adding an extra seven to nine, to fulfil its obligations to provide travellers sites.
The district council’s executive committee is being asked to approve a joint bid to the Homes and Community Agency to expand the site.
The cost of the work is estimated at £63,000. The report before the meeting says “the site is well run with no history of problems between residents, the local settled community and police”.
