As far as the travellers are concerned, they have a major problem because there is nowhere for them to stay legally in all to many counties as the councils have not provided the pitches they are supposed to supply, and they are always refused permission to build on the fields they own... They are always being 'moved on' by the councils without anywhere they can legally move on to. This situation has been getting worse for at least the last 3 generations from what I am told.
