We accept that 23 years after the 1998 Act, there are effectively no transient halting sites. Has any analysis been done on where Travellers travel to, particularly in the summer time, because there are well-recognised places where they have been going for decades? Is there any plan to draw up a national network of transient halting sites of the locations they want to visit and where they live on a transient basis as communities?
The big difference with Travellers is that they move as communities.
