In June the Mercury reported that the family had accepted Derbyshire Dales District Council’s offer of a temporary traveller site in Old Station Close, Rowsley – on the proviso that an electricity was provided.

A decision was supposed to be taken this Thursday, but today the family announced that they were dropping their request for electricity.

Updates to follow and the full story will be in this week’s Mercury.
