Derby Evening Telegraph Report of Possible Travellers Site at Highfield House, Hulland Ward

Earlier this week the Derbyshire Evening Telegraph reported that the Derbyshire Dales District Council had identified five possible sites for development for Travellers.  One of the listed sites was Highfield House, Hulland Ward.  It was identified by market researchers as a possible site due to its suitable size and current market availability.

Last night there was a meeting at Matlock to discuss which of the five sites should be taken forward to the next stage of consultation.  The site at Highfield House was ruled out as it was deemed to be too costly.  The site also identified at the back of Jasmine Cottage, Turnditch has also been dismissed.
