No, the council must: • Make enquiries regarding the general health, welfare and children’s education; • Ensure that the Human Rights Act 1998 has been fully complied with; • Follow a set procedure in terms of proving ownership of land and details of the illegal encampment. This will enable the council to fully obtain the necessary authority from the courts to order the Gypsies and Travellers to leave the site.
