Services at Ecton Lane

NPH is responsible for the management of the Ecton Lane Traveller Site, situated off the A45 near Billing.

NPH has a Site Officer responsible for managing the day-to-day running of the site. The Site Officer meets regularly with residents at the site and works closely with other departments within NPH to offer help and support to residents about their tenancies.

Applying for a pitch

To apply for a pitch at Ecton Lane you will need to complete an application form.

The following documents will need to be supplied:

  • passport photo of the applicant or joint applicants
  • proof of marriage (if applicable)
  • birth certificate or valid passport for each member of the household

Applications forms are available from the One Stop Shop at One Angel Square (St John’s entrance) or by phoning us on 0300 330 7003. Help can be provided completing the application.

Next steps

When we have an empty pitch it will be allocated to the applicant with the highest need. The decision to allocate a pitch is made by our Housing Applications Team.

We will write to you to confirm that you have been placed on a waiting list.

Any false or misleading information given may lead to prosecution for a criminal offence and may result in being removed from the waiting list or being evicted from any accommodation allocated.

Moving off the site

You need to give us 4 weeks notice in writing before moving off the site and ending your tenancy agreement.

The Traveller Site Liaison Officer, Tio Gallant, can be contacted on 0300 330 7003 or via email at tio.gallant@nph.org.uk.
