No, the Council must: • show that the Gypsies / Travellers are on the land without consent; • make enquiries regarding the general health, welfare and children’s education; • ensure that the Human Rights Acts 1998 has been fully complied with; • follow a set procedure in terms of proving ownership of land and details of the illegal encampment that will enable them to • successfully obtain the necessary authority from the Courts to order the Gypsies / Travellers to leave the site.
