Yes. Earlier this year the Welsh Government approved the Gypsy and Traveller accommodation assessments undertaken by Welsh local authorities, which identified a need for 237 residential and 33 transit pitches across Wales. A total of £26.4 million has been allocated between 2017 and 2021 to address this need, and I expect local authorities to deliver against the need.
