Kent has the UK's biggest Gypsy/Traveller population and was at the forefront of discussions and efforts over how to address the accommodation crisis facing these communities in the postwar period. This presentation will examine the impact and implementation of the 1960 and 1968 (Pt. II) Caravan Acts in Kent, focusing especially on Maidstone, and will use local authority and press sources to consider the factors determining who, where and how itinerants were accommodated and their enduring impacts at the local level.
