Thirty-three housing associations, local authorities and other providers are set to deliver around 600 new traveller pitches, as the Homes and Communities Agency (HCA) confirmed successful organisations for Traveller Pitch Funding.
A total of £47 million funding will be allocated to 71 projects around the country, and will support the provision of new traveller sites and new pitches on existing sites, as well as the improvement of existing pitches.
A further £13 million remains available from the Traveller Pitch Funding Programme for additional allocations where schemes are progressed and are able to deliver, and provide good value for money.
These will be operated on a rolling basis under which offers will be considered for their value for money, deliverability and meeting local need, as they are developed.
