There is a shocking lack of places for traveller families to live in England, according to a charity.
Only 18 out of 251 registered traveller sites have any spaces available, research from Friends, Families and Travellers (FFT) suggests.
It says the government must do more to identify land for the community to live on.
The government says councils are best placed to assess the local need for permanent traveller sites.
In October, FFT wrote to all local authorities and private registered site providers in England to ask how many pitches they had available.
