The forum aims to improve the lives of Gypsies and Travellers in London, particularly in relation to their accommodation needs; and to promote their rights as Londoners, to equal treatment.
It will do this through exchange of information, discussion, promotion of good practise, challenge of poor practise, and advice to the GLA, the London Mayor and all other London authorities.
The forum is open to London Gypsies and Travellers, council officers, elected representatives, service providers and other interested individuals and organisations who live or work in London, and who support and are prepared to work towards the above aim.
The Forum will meet on a quarterly basis, and be able to set up sub-groups to pursue particular issues in greater depth.
