- Meeting date: 18 July 2019
Following your responses to questions 2019/6235 and 2019/6236, I welcome your work to encourage boroughs to take up funding for new or remodelled Gypsy and Traveller sites and pitches. However, your response shows that since 2007/08, only 24 new pitches have been provided. The need identified in your new London Plan was for 484. Additional pitches have only been provided in 7 boroughs in the past ten years, while there is an identified need in 30 London Boroughs. Would you consider setting aside a specific funding pot for Gypsy and Traveller accommodation given that recent delivery has been so low?
