A recent Argus article highlighting the traveller problem in East Sussex was much better than the usual publicity travellers receive because it took a closer look at travellers, distinguishing between different types.

Different groups have different cultures and lifestyles, although the public do not recognise the differences - they just see travellers and immediately think of all the negative aspects.

We are a traveller support group concentrating on new travellers nationwide, but especially in East Sussex.

We produce newsletters and workable solutions to the new traveller problem. We are currently consultants to Luton Council regarding its traveller policy and Traveller Law Reform Unit in Cardiff.
