Travellers 'grudgingly' moved to picnic woodlandpublished at 13:34 Greenwich Mean Time 22 February 2019

Local Democracy ReporterA family of travellers currently staying in Matlock Bath are to be moved to Wirksworth.
During a marathon Derbyshire Dales District Council meeting last night councillors grudgingly agreed to move the family, which is registered as homeless, to a site bordering Stoney Wood, close to Middle Peak Quarry.
The district council has a legal responsibility under the Homelessness Reduction Act 2017 (which came into force in April last year) to carry out prevention and relief work for anyone threatened with homelessness within 56 days.
It has to provide them with a "suitable offer of accommodation".
Image source, GoogleStoney Wood is a site owned by the district council and is a public open space and wooded area, well-used for picnics and by walkers.
Portaloos and bins would be provided and fencing could be put in place to mark the area that has been designated.
Councillors feared the traveller family would act as a "honey pot" or a "magnet" for other travellers, wherever they were moved and a permanent site was needed as soon as possible.
Tim Braund, the authority's head of regulatory services, said another traveller family, which is related to the family which the council is already responsible for, has made an application to be registered as homeless. If this is approved, the council would also need to find this additional family a site.
