Do the Council or Police have a duty to move unauthorised encampments on when they are on the Councils land?

0

If an unauthorised encampment is on Council land, that Council has a power not a duty to move them on and they may only evict them subject to complying with Human Rights legislation and other procedures. Failure to comply would render the Council and Police officers liable to challenge in the courts, proving potentially costly and quite probably resulting in lengthy stays for the encampers.
