Hall packed for 'gypsy' meeting
AROUND 200 people crammed into Cotford St Luke Community Hall last night amid fears that the village could face an influx of Romany gypsies.
The controversy centres on three mobile homes which were put on the site at the weekend without planning permission.
The mobile homes are owned by 39-year-old Henry Small, who told the meeting that they were just for himself and his family. He also assured residents that there were no plans for anyone else to join him site.
But many in the hall were not convinced and demanded to know what Taunton Deane Council, which has already issued two stop notices on the site, was planning to do next.
Tim Burton, development control manager for the council, outlined the legal position.
