THREE more gipsy sites are being planned for the county.
A report by the Gypsy and Traveller Sites Select Committee, made up of representatives from bodies such as Kent County Council (KCC) and Gravesham Council, was discussed by KCC on May 22.
KCC cabinet member for adult services Councillor Kevin Lynes, who attended the meeting, says the sites will be located on land between the M2 and M20.
He suggested there was a need for three transit sites with a minimum of 10 pitches in each and said: "We are talking about 30 pitches at most."
It comes after the Government allocated £56m to local authorities across England to fund new gipsy and traveller sites.
By increasing the number of authorised sites, the hope is the number of illegal sites can be reduced.
The committee will now look at possible locations.
