Why do some Gypsies/Travellers make unauthorised encampments?
Kent is crossed by the major motorways M25, M20, M2 and M26. Many Gypsies/Travellers find work here including tree felling and pruning, laying tarmac, roofing, gardening and other general building or clearance work. Whilst the subject is current and emotive in Kent , Gypsies/Travellers have a basic right to this way of life providing that they do not cause nuisance or anti-social behaviour. This has to be balanced with the rights of the public quietly to enjoy private and public land.
