The Vale Council has for the second time called off a Compulsory Purchase Order inquiry, after high costs in abortive legal work and preparations for the Inquiry scheduled for 17-18th October.
The local group of Friends of the Earth was supporting the residents including the traveller families on site, but the Vale Council has again avoided making full offers of alternative housing for all affected.
Max Wallis said: “we hope the Council was learn from the huge costs and delays at Dale Farm that it's far better for all to negotiate a settlement rather than go to law. The traveller families are well established on site, making good use of it, and are well accepted locally. The Vale Council has long avoided its obligation to ensure gipsy/traveller sites in the county – now they must accept they need to deliver.”
