We have heard recently that the group within Bath and NE Somerset Council which deals with travellers has got permission from the Strategic Directors to include boat dwellers in its work on Gypsies & Travellers. One of the B&NES officers responsible for its work with travellers says “We will be making sure that this is reflected in our work as a group from now on”.

Not forgetting to include water points etc as well.
If this would mean having longer term moorings, in some areas where there is a need for this, then the sooner they get started doing something about making it a realty, the better.
The B&NES Officer sounds like a very nice person indeed 🙂
