A petition with more than 6000 signatures against plans for a traveller site near Ferndown - has been given to Dorset county council..

The Save Uddens Woodland group say they're not against the traveller community - but that the site near Stapehill is on green belt land and unsuitable for development.

The council's been told by the government that they have to identify some permanent traveller sites here - and say they are consulting with local people.
