[Mr TC Davies said: “The location of authorised
and unauthorised Traveller sites is a
legitimate matter for public debate and scrutiny.
It is entirely valid to criticise a lack
of wide public consultation by a council.
“I have been contacted by many
upset residents at the shortness of
the consultation and the proposed
locations for the sites.
“I have also been told that many from
the gypsy and Traveller community
are also upset at the proposed locations
for the sites. This is not a criticism of
the gypsy and Traveller community.”
Travelling Ahead, which provides advocacy
and advice for gypsy, Roma and Traveller
communities in Wales, tweeted:
“Which other group would you do this
to and get away with it?
“Clear breach of Equality Act, dog whistle actions
intended to create hostile environment
for Gypsies and Travellers.”
The group said it had reported what it
called Mr Davies’ “targeted” leaflet to the
UK’s Equality and Human Rights Commission,
the Welsh Conservatives and to the
House of Commons standards committee.
The charity’s project manager
Trudy Aspinwell told Wales Online this week
that the leaflet had been sent to her by
local people who had received the leaflet
through their doors on July 25.]
