New government funded housing developments are “not much different to an apartheid system”, Traveller organisations have warned.
One planned development of 1,100 homes near Hemel Hempstead in Greater London has placed its small Traveller site around a quarter of a mile from the rest of the community, openDemocracy has found.
The Traveller site has no vehicle access to the main site. It has a separate single track lane with no footpath. The planned Traveller site is also next to the sewage pumping station for the whole development, and the busy West Coat Mainline railway line.
