Gypsy and Traveller accommodation Part of their Culture and a way of life Clifford Codona
Gypsy Lifestyle in UK • Gypsy people in the UK lived in horse drawn wagons later changing over to caravans • With the termination of traditional stopping places they found it hard to find places to stay. • The 1968 Caravans Sites Act placed a demand on councils to build sites but the 1994 Criminal Justices Act put an end to site provision, • Lack of sites meant the Gypsy people had to either buy their own land or go into housing
This is considered an acceptable place to live (this is home to 8 families)
