I have seen an Unauthorised Encampment on the side of the road and on Council land. What can the Council do?
If the Gypsies/Travellers are causing a problem, they will be moved on as soon as reasonably possible. If they are not causing a problem, the Government has asked that the consideration be given to tolerating the encampment for short periods of time. Each case is considered on its own merits. In all cases, the site is visited by various agencies and every effort made to try and keep the site tidy.
