Does The Council Have A Policy In Relation To Unauthorised Encampments?

Yes. The Policy regarding the ‘management of Unauthorised Encampments’ has been effective since 1966 when it was adopted by the Council. It clearly defines the role of the Traveller Liaison Officer and action by the Council. It sets out clearly the Councils responsibility and recognises that Police may take action independently under their own powers. The Borough recognises however the role of Police in preventing a breach of the Peace at the time of eviction and the importance of welfare considerations. The procedure for eviction is non-confontational to the point of eviction.
