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.
