Request

Please could you supply the financial information for the verge off the roundabout in Newton where the travellers are making camp on a very regular basis at the moment. After every visit there has to be a massive clear up, including all their faeces, all the litter, all the debris from their landscaping jobs that they have dumped around Newton and the general mess that is left behind. If you could supply the details of how much the clear ups cost each time it would be greatly appreciated.

Response

There have been on average 2 cases per year. The most recent encampment cost around £3200 to clean up due to tree cutting waste left behind. Most other occasions have cost approximately £600 per time.
