The move comes amid concerns about the effectiveness and feasibility of providing official stopping places. Plans initially aimed to create managed areas where traveller communities could stay legally and safely, helping to reduce friction with local residents and ensuring access to basic facilities. However, opposition from local communities and challenges in securing suitable land hampered progress.
