On Thursday 13th May, at 1pm, a small group of Cornwall councillors, and a senior official from the planning department, will make their way to the fourth floor of County Hall and assemble in room 439.
Their meeting is not advertised in the public calendar of official council business and yet it could have a profound influence on one of the most explosive issues the council has to deal with - its statutory obligation to provide residential and transit sites for gypsies and travellers.
The Gypsies & Travellers Working Group (GTWG) is an informal "sub committee" of the Planning Policy Advisory Panel. Meetings of the GTWG are not normally open to the press and public, but I have nevertheless asked to be allowed in and to report on its proceedings. Watch this space.
