Council blamed over gypsy site shortage
Councillors have accused Rother of dragging its feet over finding space for new travellers' sites in the district.
Earlier in the year, the Government Planning Inspectorate granted gypsy Linda Smith a two-and-a-half year extension to remain on land at Powdermill Land in Battle after she risked being ejected by Rother, following a series of planning breaches.
The Planning Inspectorate said he was granting the temporary extension to allow Rother time to find land for a new traveller's site.
