Number of Caravan Sites in Brabant Declines Despite Ban on Phasing-Out Policies
Ministry of Housing data reveals that the number of caravan sites in the Dutch province of Brabant has decreased since 2018, despite a legal obligation for municipalities to provide them. The province now has 1,715 sites, a drop of 25 from 2018, while residents face long waiting lists and discrimination. National Ombudsman Reinier van Zutphen confirms ongoing exclusion of Sinti and Roma communities and urges the government to act. Although local authorities claim plans for 286 new sites, only 84 are nearly secured for 2027, leaving many applicants frustrated by delays and broken promises.
