Can the council deal with unauthorised traveller encampments?
If travellers have gained unauthorised access to council land, officers will liaise with bailiffs and the Police to have the travellers moved from the site. If there is an unauthorised traveller encampment on private land, the council will be happy to provide advise to the land owner. Gypsies and travellers are protected from discrimination by the Race Relations Act 1976 and the Human Rights Act 1998, together with all ethnic groups who have a particular culture, language or values. The aim of this information is to set out how the council and other official agencies will work to try to balance the rights of all those involved.
