COSLA has been working to improve the support that is available to people who are camping roadside as part of their cultural identity and nomadic lifestyle.
COSLA is supporting local authorities to take a public health approach to supporting families living roadside. This includes helping councils to provide safe stopping places; access to sanitation and essential services such as education and health; as well as developing transit site provision where it is needed.
