Download or read book Gypsy and Traveller Sites Thirteenth Report of Session written by Great Britain. Parliament. House of Commons. ODPM: Housing, Planning, Local Government and the Regions Committee and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2004 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Committee's report examines the provision and management of Gypsy and Traveller sites within England, focusing on the following aspects: current provision and location of sites; demand for, and use of sites; existing funding arrangements; the Gypsy Site Refurbishment Grant scheme; site characteristics and facilities; management of unauthorised camping; and ODPM statistical information on caravans, sites and families. The Committee's report notes the contradictory views held about Gypsies and Travellers, and the public opposition to their encampment in local areas for fear, whether real or not, of crime and anti-social behaviour. In light of this, the report seeks to assess the extent of problems faced both by Gypsies and Travellers and the settled community, and suggests ways to reduce the conflict, misery and nuisance being caused. Recommendations made include, due to the lack of sites available, that the Government should re-introduce a statutory requirement for local authorities to provide suitable accommodation, based on an assessment of need at regional level, and funded through a capital grant.

Download or read book No Place to Call Home written by Katharine Quarmby and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2013-08-01 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The shocking poignant story of eviction, expulsion, and the hard-scrabble fight for a home They are reviled. For centuries the Roma have wandered Europe; during the Holocaust half a million were killed. After World War II and during the Troubles, a wave of Irish Travellers moved to England to make a better, safer life. They found places to settle down – but then, as Occupy was taking over Wall Street and London, the vocal Dale Farm community in Essex was evicted from their land. Many did not leave quietly; they put up a legal and at times physical fight. Award-winning journalist Katharine Quarmby takes us into the heat of the battle, following the Sheridan, McCarthy, Burton and Townsley families before and after the eviction, from Dale Farm to Meriden and other trouble spots. Based on exclusive access over the course of seven years and rich historical research, No Place to Call Home is a stunning narrative of long-sought justice.

Download or read book Local Authority Gypsy Traveller Sites in England written by Pat Niner and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are around 320 caravan sites in England owned by local authorities. Specifically designed for Gypsies and other Travellers, they constitute a specialist form of accommodation provision, and make a significant contribution towards meeting the accommodation needs of Gypsies and other Travellers.This research collected a large amount of information about Gypsy/Traveller sites, how they are managed and about future needs.It is important that the existing network is retained, and currently closed sites brought back into use. Expenditure in excess of £16.78 million is needed over the next five years to bring sites to standard, and at similar or higher levels thereafter. Spending at this level cannot be met from site income. It is estimated that between 1,000 and 2,000 additional residential pitches will be needed over the next five years. Between 2,000 and 2,500 additional pitches on transit sites or stopping places will also be needed to accommodate nomadism. The latter need to form a national network. There is little agreement about the feasibility and viability of transit sites: they are likely to be costly both to build and manage. There are obvious barriers to site provision, especially through resistance from the settled community. Many believe that a statutory duty and central subsidy are needed to 'encourage' local authorities to make provision. Treating site provision in the same way as housing for planning purposes could help. Site management is more intensive than is usual for social housing management and requires higher staff/resident ratios. It should be 'firm but fair'. There are areas where greater formality might be introduced, including performance monitoring.

Download or read book Gypsies and Travellers written by Richardson, Joanna and published by Policy Press. This book was released on 2012-09-12 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The eviction at Dale Farm in the UK in 2011 brought the conflicting issues relating to Gypsy and Traveller accommodation to the attention of the world's media. However, as the furore surrounding the eviction has died down, the very pressing issues of accommodation need, inequality of access to education, healthcare and employment, and exclusion from British (and European) society is still very much evident. This topical book examines and debates a range of themes facing Gypsies and Travellers in British society, including health, social policy, employment and education. It also looks at the dilemmas faced in representing disadvantaged minority groups in media and political discourse, theories on power, control and justice and the impact of European initiatives on inclusion. Gypsies and Travellers: Empowerment and inclusion in British society will be of interest to students, academics, policy makers, practitioners, those working in the media, police, education and health services, and of course to Gypsies and Travellers themselves.
Download or read book Gypsies and Travellers in housing written by Smith, David M. and published by Policy Press. This book was released on 2013-07-17 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This original and timely text is the first published research from the UK to address the neglected topic of the increasing (and largely enforced) settlement of Gypsies and Travellers in conventional housing. It highlights the complex and emergent tensions and dynamics inherent when policy and popular discourse combine to frame ethnic populations within a narrative of movement. The authors have extensive knowledge of the communities and experience as policy practitioners and researchers and consider the changing culture and dynamics experienced by ethnic Gypsies and Travellers. They explore the gendered social, health and economic impacts of settlement and demonstrate the tenacity of cultural formations and their adaptability in the face of policy-driven constraints that are antithetical to traditional lifestyles. The groundbreaking book is essential reading for policy makers; professionals and practitioners working with housed Gypsies and Travellers. It will also be of interest to sociologists, anthropologists, social policy and housing specialists and anybody interested in the experiences and responses of marginalized communities in urban and rural settings. Royalties for this book are to be divided equally between the Gypsy Council and Travellers Aid Trust.
