Inquiry into the provision of sites for Gypsy, Roma and Travellers: evidence session 3
I was going to ask about how that's shared, because it's really good to hear about. I know, locally, about some really good examples of how that happens, so I'm just wondering how that gets across and that good practice is shared across authorities. But just…

Inquiry into the provision of sites for Gypsy, Roma and Travellers: evidence session 2
