  The Gypsy and Traveller communities in the UK experience widespread deprivation, social exclusion and discrimination. The lack of provision of suitable sites for Gypsies and Travellers is the root cause of most, if not all, of the difficulties that they face living in Great Britain today. Although there is now a new legal framework and new policy designed to address the severe shortage of sites. Gypsies and Travellers continue to be frustrated in their attempts to purchase land and develop sites. This timely new edition brings together the areas of law affecting the travelling community. It is the only guide to comprehensively cover accommodation needs such as planning, site provision, homelessness and eviction as well as other issues impacting on the day to day lives of Gypsies and Travellers such as education, healthcare and race discrimination. It balances straight-forward, practical advice with comprehensive coverage of the statutes, regulations, guidance, circulars and a rapidly developing body of case-law.
