MORE GYPSY SITES

TWO sites in South Yorkshire have been earmarked for gipsies as the council battles to prevent illegal camps and meet a Government target to provide more spaces.

Oaks Lane at Hoyle Mill, and Sandygate Lane, Stairfoot, in Barnsley have been identified as potential temporary stopping places.

The council has to find 48 extra spaces for gipsies and travellers to meet Government requirements. Ten are to be created if funding can be found to expand a permanent gipsy site at Smithies, leaving a shortfall of 38.
