Why do unauthorised encampments occur in Northamptonshire?
There are a number of authorised private and council run caravans sites in the county. However, the Travelling community can experience some difficulties finding an authorised place to stop and may set up an encampment on someone’s land without consent including highway verges and lay-bys. The Countywide Traveller Unit is looking at long-term solutions, including the provision of well-placed Transit Sites to where unauthorised encampments can be directed.
