Travelling Community Sites

How many Gypsy/Traveller sites do you have in your Borough?

We are a County Council covering the administrative areas for the whole of Devon and do not operate borough by borough.  However, there are 3 local authority sites across Devon, 2 of which we hold overall responsibility for.  We do not hold the information for private sites as we are not a planning authority.

How many pitches are there on these sites?

There are 34 pitches spread across the 3 sites.  16 pitches that Devon County Council (DCC) are responsible for.

Which team manages these sites, and what department does this team work within?

We do not hold this information because Elim Housing (Housing Association) leases one site and manages another for DCC .  The other site is managed by Teign Housing on behalf of Teignbridge District Council.

Have these sites undergone any renovation? If so, when?

No renovation in recent years on the 2 sites DCC are responsible for. We do not hold information about the other sites.

What is the average rental cost of a pitch in your borough?

We do not hold this information.

Do residents of these sites purchase their electric directly from the landlord or do they source it independently?

1 site is billed to DCC and the money recouped from residents.


If the electricity is purchased from the landlord, what company do they use? And what is the cost per kWh?

Npower.  0.15589 kWh.
