Gypsy Lifestyle in UK

Gypsy people in the UK lived in horse drawn wagons later
changing over to caravans

With the termination of traditional stopping places they found
it hard to find places to stay.

The 1968 Caravans Sites Act placed a demand on councils to
build sites but the 1994 Criminal Justices Act put an end to
site provision,

Lack of sites meant the Gypsy people had to either buy their
own land or go into housing
