Call For More Traveller Sites In Leicestershire

Harborough’s Council leader is calling for other areas of Leicestershire to do more to accommodate travellers.

It comes after three illegal camps in the past fortnight in Market Harborough, Lutterworth and Dunton Bassett.

Cllr Phil King say the Harborough District currently provides nearly half of all permanent and transient sites and other councils need to do their bit:
