Travelling Ahead, which provides advocacy and advice for Gypsy, Roma and traveller communities in Wales, said the leaflet was a “clear breach of Equality Act, dog whistle actions intended to create hostile environment for Gypsies and travellers”.
Det Insp Steve Thomas said: “We take any allegation of discrimination extremely seriously and we’re committed to ensuring our communities are safe places and welcoming for all.”
In a statement, Mr Davies said: “The location of authorised and unauthorised traveller sites is a legitimate matter for public debate and scrutiny.
“It is entirely valid to criticise a lack of wide public consultation by a council.
“I have been contacted by many upset residents at the shortness of the consultation and the proposed locations for the sites.
“I have also been told that many from the Gypsy and traveller community are also upset at the proposed locations for the sites. This is not a criticism of the Gypsy and traveller community.”
