The residents and families of Clipstone and Forest Town have spent many years building a safe and happy community with prospects for the future such as a rise in house prices and a friendly village environment for young people, working families and the elderly. Our children feel safe and secure - facilitating a traveller site will undo all the hard work of this community to ensure that our children feel safe and secure along with the elders that worked hard down the pit that still live and breathe our area.
