Gypsy Services


About the Gypsy and Traveller Service

The Gypsy and Traveller Service deal with all issues regarding Gypsies and travellers. This includes dealing with illegal encampments, the provision of transit site and residential site accommodation for Gypsies and also information on accommodatin issues for the traveller community.

The service is highly visible and can be a very sensitive area of work and as such creates much public debate. The service liaises between Gypsies, the local communities and local authorities to minimise tensions and help encourage integration and mutual respect.
