Permanent Gypsy, Roma and Traveller sites


We have six permanent Gypsy, Roma and Traveller sites in County Durham.

We are committed to provide and manage the pitches on our permanent sites to enable Gypsy and Traveller families to live in caravans / mobile homes.

We support the role of the site warden by making sure that the communities are able to live in quiet enjoyment of their mobile home.
