Traveller family fails in planning permission bid for Gretna static caravans

A nine-strong traveller family has failed in another bid to gain planning permission to remain in static caravan homes in Gretna.

The planning case officer had recommended that councillors should accept this concession and allow the site they’re living on to become a small scale travellers plot.
