Six licences have so far been issued and conditions attached
to them not only govern the number of vans which may be stationed
and the date by which they must be removed, but also set
out in detail requirements with regard to water supply, sanitary
accommodation, hard standings, etc. These conditions have been
varied from site to site depending on the situation, duration of
licence, and so on. Thus the requirements for the small site for
one agricultural worker have been made simple and in keeping
with their surroundings.
A great transformation has been accomplished at the Chalk
Pit, Ruxley, where the number of caravans has been reduced to
25, hard standings and roadways have been laid, each family has
its own closet and electricity supply point and a cesspool has been
constructed to take effluent.
Another interesting experiment on a smaller scale, is taking
shape at Twysdens Meadow, Footscray, where the owner of this
site for six caravans is providing an ablution block complete with
hot water, bath and laundry facilities.
