CARAVANS
Under the Caravan Sites and Control of Development Act 1960, there are two sites
licensed in the Borough, one on either side of the Barnet By Pass at Stirling Corner.
The sites are well maintained and managed and at the end of the year there were
95 caravans stationed thereon.
Ministry of Housing and Local Government Circular No. 38/70 draws attention to
the fact that Part II of the Caravan Sites Act 1968 which required local authorities to
provide sites for gypsies in their areas came into force on the 1st April, 1970.
The question of need and the possibility of providing a site was still under
consideration at the end of the year.
INSPECTIONS AND COMPLAINTS 1970
Some 7,355 complaints and requests for services were investigated and, where
possible, defects or unsatisfactory conditions were remedied.
