The response of these counties to the \u00c2\u00a347m government funding reinforces this, with only 4% of the total taken up by these locations in the face of potentially difficult planning processes and a relationship with travellers marred by generations of struggling over illegal sites.<\/p>\n<p>Most of the funding is going to councils in the Midlands, South West Yorkshire and the North East, so the future might see an exodus of travellers northwards and relief for authorities like the long suffering Basildon District Council.<\/p>\n<p>SRJ\/LCB<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Following criticism from the Irish Traveller Movement in Britain (ITMB) that the Government\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s plans will result in a significant under-supply of pitches for travelling communities (read more here), grumblings have also been levelled at specific provisions for green belt land.
