Mid Suffolk District Council which covers the Stowmarket, Needham Market and Eye area, is currently working to provide sites for local Gypsy and Traveller families.

We are keen to make contact with you if you are a Gypsy or Traveller who lives in the district or who have a connection with it, so that we can meet you and discuss what accommodation needs you have. We can then decide with you what types of sites are needed.

We are also very keen to hear from anyone who may own land which would be suitable for a Gypsy or Traveller site.

If you wish to get in touch please post a reply, or contact us using the contact details below.
