Part of 2. 2. Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Communities and Children – in the Senedd at 2:43 pm on 14 December 2016.
I have an interest as a member of Powys County Council. Members of Machynlleth Town Council have expressed their concerns regarding proposals by Powys County Council to locate a permanent Traveller site near Machynlleth. Town councillors agree that there hasn’t been a formal consultation, as they had been promised by the county council, with residents regarding possible locations for the site. I have made my own representations to the local authority and I would be grateful if you would add your weight to the calls for Powys County Council to hold a full and proper and transparent consultation to ensure that residents have the opportunity to express their suggestions about location and ideas themselves.
