Working with Southampton City Council over a peroid of time we managed to navigate a successful plan to place before
the planning committee for Southamptons first Transit site. We managed to fulfill all of the requirements of the
Planning Matrix as we expected heavy opposition to this plan, but were successful in gaining permissions for the planned
site to proceed (by 1 vote).
Managing public meetings
For local Government Planning departments.
How to engage with the General Public on proposed site location. A major problem for local government is how to present their plans for new sites to the general public. Clearwater Gypsies can assist in this process with advice and examples based upon personal experience of past meetings, advising on how to best present this information at public meetings in order to achieve the planning departments goals.

Provision before Enforcement
Enforcement does not work! And it is expensive.
On the other hand complying with your statutory requirements and providing sites for Gypsy and Traveller families
can and does prove cost effective as shown by Bristol Council who provided 2 sites and made massive
savings on legal and other enforcement expenses within the first year.
Moral Duty
Everybody in this country should have access to basic utilities and health care.
