Abstract

The primary aim of the research is:- to inform officers working in a range of sub-regional stakeholder organisations in West Yorkshire about the current and future accommodation needs and aspirations of Gypsies and Travellers, and the need and demand for support services. The objectives of the research are: - to produce a quantitative assessment of pitch requirements capable of disaggregation to local authority level up to 2015 - to assess the current need for different types of accommodation across the subregion - to assess the mobility patterns of Gypsies and Travellers within West Yorkshire and the drivers of mobility - to develop an understanding of the demographic profile of the Gypsy and Traveller population; and - to devise a tailored methodology for carrying out future GTAAs for the West Yorkshire authorities.
