How it is meeting the needs of gypsy traveller communities, particularly in relation to the provision of caravan sites.

Scottish Planning Policy threestates that planning authorities should identify suitable locations for Gypsies/Travellerssites where need is identified in the local housing strategy.
In addition, we have made £3million funding available to cover the threeyear period from financial year 2005-06 to year 2007-08, to local authorities to create or improve sites for Gypsies/Travellers.
