Public meeting called over van dwellers on the Downs - Bristol Live This? Bristol has more van dwellers than any other city in the country, with current estimates putting the number at as many as 800. I have doubts that modest number is correct. There are three camps in Brislington alone. Its the symptom of a dysfunctional Council. The council should be building caravan parks, the council should be ensuring there is housing for those who live here easing the chronic housing shortage, versus prioritising the colonisation of the City centre outwards by students and the people moving into the City.
