Gypsy, Traveller and Showpeople Sites – Your Say, Your Future

Do you or your family need a pitch or yard in Wales?

Before February 2016, all Welsh Councils must speak to Gypsy and Traveller families in their area

to find out how many pitches or sites are needed. A new law called the Housing (Wales) Act 2014

means each Local Council must then make sure those pitches or sites are built.

The Welsh Government invites you to take part in a survey with the Council to make sure the true

accommodation needs of Gypsies and Travellers in each area is known.

To take part please call: 0300 0603300

Or e-mail: GTAAMailbox@wales.gsi.gov.uk

You will need to give:

• Your full name

• The Local Authority where you live

• Your phone number or email address

The Welsh Government will send your information to your

Local Authority for them to contact you for a conversation

about your needs. For more information, please use the

contact details above or visit http://www.travellerstimes.org.uk/GTAA

Alternatively you can contact Torfaen County Borough Council's Gypsy Traveller Community Liaison Officer, Brett Korshaven on 01495 742998 or Brett.Korshaven@torfaen.gov.uk.
