Hinckley Traveller Site Expansion Approved

0:00In Lester, it's March 21st. Here's what is happening. Plans are in motion to double the size of a traveler's site near Hinkley in Lestershire. A retrospective application to Hinkley and Bosworth Borough Council seeks to add eight new pitches to the existing 7 at the A5 Caravan Park off. Wattling Street. This expansion would bring eight more families to the site, which sits next to Nets Lane Homes. The move comes after years of the site operating smoothly in the area. Local residents along Nets Lane say they have no problems with the travelers. Folks who have lived there for decades report peaceful relations with quick fixes to any minor issues like fences. The council previously approved expansions, adding five pitches back in 2003 and two more in 2019. As the application moves forward, neighbors appear ready to welcome the growth without any pushback.
