Representation Summary:
Paragraphs 10.49 - 10.53
Issues regarding travellers and gypsies. Also people who don't wish to come under these banners but would like to be able to move around and not be tied to a house or a mortgage. A portion of any development should be put aside to accommodate these people.
200,000 travellers occupying social houses, many have nowhere else to go because governments have failed to create proper sites. If we were to plan some good sites for those who wish to not live in a house we could release nearly 100,000 Council homes for those on the waiting list.
