This is what
does happen when sites are built & run by the council (often why council run sites are more popular & have long waiting lists).
The local schools also benefit by having traveller children who in turn get an education. Opportunities they wouldn't get if they are constantly moved on. At least the traveller families are UK citizens who go round the country harvesting, rather than having to import staff to pick fruit & veg.
