I wonder how much they would pay for this

[tim123]

Do you really think that you could do it?

Or do you mean that you can just write a report that says the councils need do nothing to address this?

About £10. A small piece of paper containing the words:

Personal. Choices. Consequences.

Oh, and keeping with the bloated tautologies of council policies, another line in Gyppo-speak containing the words:

Can't. Have. Your. Cake. And. Eat. It.

[ratewhore]

accommodation needs? A caravan...

Next!!

[Mordac]

They need to get jobs, stop living on private land and stop teaching their bloody kids to behave like thieving pikeys.

There, job done, where do I send the invoice?

[John Galt]

It's the council.

Oh right, well in that case at least 10 times the amount of money that the job will either save or create

[Lucy]

It's the council.

[BoredBloke]

Half a million to find a field for a load of gippos?

"The purpose of the research is to provide a robust evidence base to inform strategic decision making and policy development in relation to the current and future accommodation needs and aspirations of Gypsies and Travellers."

So a bit of market research and data crunching.....
