"South Norfolk Council has a statutory duty to ensure there are
suitable stopping places for travellers in south Norfolk."

Why is this? Does it have a statutory duty to provide me with a home as
well?

Yes, if you don't already have one.

Councils have a statutory duty to secure housing for people who are
unintentionally homeless.

But it seems that lots of Travellers are intentionally homeless. Not to mention Irish
travellers in England with homes in Ireland.

Well I was only answering your question regarding your own entitlement
but I do agree with your sentiment insomuch that travellers are
exercising a lifestyle choice with regards to their homeless status.
