I think the biggest stumbling block to aires provision in the UK is the genuine fear by councils that they will become Itinerant encampments.. and it's not just imagined.. it would happen.. and in order to remove them they need to get a court order..
and after they leave there is a huge costly clean up operation .. not just domestic waste.. but piles of builders rubble and all sorts of refuse they have been paid to remove from peoples homes who think it is being taken to a landfill site.. electrical white goods, gas bottles etc etc
councils don't need or want this hassle.. and who can blame them ?
In France, no such problem, the Municipal Police move undesirables off without needing a court order.. they just drive into the aire and tell them to bugger off.. job done.
