There were 59 permanent pitches and 42 transit pitches availableSuppliedBethany Rose, 26, and her two children have been on a waiting list for a pitch in West Sussex for more than a year.
"It's frustrating, annoying, aggravating, I feel let down," she says. "I'm disabled. I'm homeless and I have two kids. "A whole community is there if you need something or something happens," she said. "If you fall or you go to hospital, you can guarantee your neighbour will watch the kids until you come back. If you need a cup of sugar, you can just go round."against government proposals to criminalise trespassing.
"For every 50 houses, they could put a site of five which is a whole little community that they can get used to and go, 'Yeah, OK, they're not as bad as people say.' The FFT wants the government to reintroduce pitch targets and a statutory duty on local authorities to meet the assessed need for Gypsy and traveller sites.
Many homeless and Veterans on the streets that need help and don’t get it ! No sympathy for travellers what so ever.! Raids have been done on travellers sites to find lots of stollen dogs and puppies ! Thieves
Surely the clues in the name, 'travellers'
Most of the replies on here are racist propaganda. These people need help Lets hope they get it
Perhaps if they paid something into society like taxes and national insurance. Then add on some basic manners and common decency. People may be more accommodating to their plight . We all want something for free but life's tough like that . Get a mortgage and buy your own land .
Sounds like there is much fear and misunderstanding about how this could be a sustainable way of life.
Having a day off from BAME at the BBC?
It’s not really ‘shocking’ when they have one person on the waiting list for every THOUSAND people on the council homes w list If they’re so shocked they could start by stopping shocking the communities wherever they set up Funny how anti-social behaviour gets society anti you
Buy or rent then.
Bethany has a health condition which means she can often be paralysed from the waist down and she needs to be close to her mum who is her carer. Yeah when the benefits are due. No problem having kids though. Good of her to get mum a job as a carer.
Travelers are nothing but thieving manky scum. House/property break ins, old people conned for unnecessary repairs go through the roof when they are in your area.
In other news, the amount of dog thefts in the U.K. has dramatically risen.
there are those that would love to build their own home. Being given land to do this would be great. Doesn't this mean they are discriminated against?
'Just trying to live like everyone else'. Err, buy a house then rather than demand somewhere to put your caravan PERMANENTLY. That hardly suggests much travelling!
This is a joke, right?
Travellers? The ones near me have been fixed to pitches for years.
They could always piss off back to Ireland or transylvania or where ever they are from.
Those who have to live near them would think very differently I suspect.
Surely it's a life style choice that they choose and its one that they could get out of... but choose not to. ' no income tax no VAT no money back no guarantee'
Boo. Hoo.
Shocking 🙄
Oh you mean gypsies
When I have worked for what I have and paid my taxes, why would I want to support anybody who thinks that they are entitled to be supported for avoiding employment. And why would any charity be created for those who abuse the rest of society in this way?
I wouldn't worry there ignoring covid rules and grouping by the bundle so the scumbags will all soon be wiped out
Who gives a 💩
Absolute classic night shift output.
Not got enough places for Periwinkle Blue caravans !
Please
BBCWorld didn't comment on BorisJohnson legislative attack on TravActivist now it whines abstractly about how they are treated another racist report of the week for BBC
Many of the real travellers have houses .... in Ireland .
These will be amongst the few still alive after the vaccines have been fully rolled out.
I wanted to live somewhere for free too, but I had to buy a house :(
DON'T BELIEVE the NEGATIVE BITCOIN news that has been coming out! 🙉🙈 The Biden administration looks to be BITCOIN FRIENDLY in the stock exchange. Huge investment companies are manipulating the news to keep the prices low till they can invest; ie Guggenheim, Blackrock, Valkyrie!
This will go well.
I have the same trouble, can’t find nowhere to live for nowt round here!
This is a disgrace. This country needs more places where people can live rent free and devoid of council tax.
Who do they think is paying for them?
Too bad
Toss me a lifebelt lest I drown in tears.
“Do what you likey’s” pitch up where the f*ck they like.
Doesnt normally stop them.
