Assessing local authorities’ progress in meeting the accommodation needs of Gypsy and Traveller communities in
England and Wales : 2010 update : Executive summary

Abstract

In 2009 the Equality and Human Rights Commission (the Commission) published the
briefing paper Gypsies and Travellers: Simple solutions for living together (referred
to as Simple Solutions). This was based on evidence from two separate pieces of
research: a review of the inequalities faced by Gypsies and Travellers (Cemlyn,
Greenfields, Burnett, Matthews and Whitwell, 2009) and a review of the progress
local authorities were making in providing pitches for Gypsies and Travellers in
England (Brown and Niner, 2009). Simple Solutions highlighted the relatively slow
and inadequate progress local authorities were making in taking steps to resolve the
recognised shortfall of appropriate accommodation. A subsequent report examined
the progress made by local authorities in Scotland (Brown, Niner and Lomax, 2010).
The aim of this study is to provide an update to the 2009 progress review and to
provide information relating to the progress made by local authorities in Wales over
the 2006-2009 period.
