Travellers leave unlawful Gosberton site for permanent Spalding base

The families at Broad Drove have now been relocated to a new, permanent site at Drain Bank North in Spalding.

No families remain living at Broad Drove although they have been given ten days by the council to collect any remaining possessions.

The council says it will be monitoring access to the Broad Drove site throughout to ensure a smooth process.

Once the move is finalised, the Broad Drove site – which is now owned by the council – will be permanently secured and direct action will be taken against any further unauthorised access.

A council spokesman said: “This move brings to a successful conclusion our ambitions to protect the long-term quality of life of our residents whilst meeting our needs to provide suitable homes for all.

“We would like to extend our gratitude to all those involved for working together on what has been a long and difficult process.”
