PLANS to relocate two families made up of travelling showpeople have been hit by delays.

Last August the council withdrew plans to move the families from their current home, on Foundry Street, to Hoyle Street in Bewsey following scores of objections.

In December work on finding a new site was progressing and the council said it hoped to relocate the showpeople by spring this year.

But a new site is yet to be found.

A council spokesman confirmed discussions with the families are ongoing.

He said: "We are still in communication with them and we are making good progress."
