THE head of a family of Romany Gypsies that have been living on a temporary site in Cefn Cantref, near Brecon, for around six years, and prior to that, at a lay-by just outside the town, said he is 'delighted' his years-long search for a permanent site to call home is now finally over. Speaking in the aftermath of the launch of the new gypsy and traveller King's Meadow site in Brecon last Wednesday, April 9, which was officially opened by the Welsh government's communities and tackling poverty minister, AM Jeff Cuthbert, 57-year-old Trevor Smith, whose family occupy the 10 current residential plots at the site, said: "It is brilliant, we are all very pleased with it and the opening was very nice too. I even told the minister how happy I was that the name I put forward for the site - the King's Meadow - in honour of my late dad, who was of course the King of the Gypsies, was approved." Supported by a £2million grant from the Welsh Government's gypsy and traveller capital grant scheme, King's Meadow is the first ever new local authority owned site to be built in Wales since 1997. Situated adjacent to Brecon Enterprise Park, the site currently houses 10 existing residential plots with room for a further four. The AM said: " I sincerely hope this site will be the first of many more new local authority sites to be built in Wales during the next five to ten years."
