How Travellers Can Be Moved From Basingstoke In Hampshire

Is the council is responsible for moving the gypsies and travellers who have camped without landowner's permission in Basingstoke?

The short answer is no.

The council can only evict Travellers or Gypsies on a council-owned piece of land in Basingstoke, Hartley Wintney, or Brighton Hill, but the campsite set up on private land in Hampshire will be the duty of the landowner to force them out.

How Do I Handle Gypsies Who Are Trespassing On My Land In Basingstoke?

First things first, speak to them so that they understand that the land they are entering is owned by you.

Ask them for a reason as to why they are there in the first place, and how long they wish to stay in Hampshire's Basingstoke.

Run an assessment to determine whether there is a cause of the disturbance in Basingstoke.

If your evaluation of the situation shows that they are stopping the free flow of traffic on the Highway in Basingstoke, contact the Hampshire County Council.

Before you take any action, make sure you talk with your solicitor about the situation and get to know the legal charges you will incur.

What Of The Situation Where The Basingstoke Gypsies Or Travellers Refuse To Talk To Me?

Most travellers and gypsies in Hampshire won't pass up the opportunity to speak with you.

The travellers often avoid talking openly to the strangers because they face a lot of intolerance and racism.

If you feel like negotiations are not going well, leave the discussion for the time being and seek advice from Denbigh Franks.

Is It Advisable To Let Them Stay If They Are Not Fomenting Troubles In Hampshire's Basingstoke?

In some cases, landowners in Hartley Wintney, Brighton Hill, or Basingstoke have allowed some gypsies to stay on their property once they establish good relationships with each other.

However, other Basingstoke landowners let them stay for economic reasons and how the Gypsy travel culture might influence their community.

But permission from the City Council will be needed if a portion of land is occupied for a longer period of time in Hampshire.

What Actions Must You Take In Order To Get Back Your Property In Basingstoke In Hampshire?

Ask your lawyer who will most likely recommend that you recover possession as per part 55 from the rules of civil procedures in a Basingstoke civil court.

This can be observed under the following conditions:

Requesting that intruders leave the property in Basingstoke, which is the duty of the landowner

Making and serving a Hampshire court summons

Applying for a possession order in Basingstoke

Serving order of possession in Hampshire

Executing a warrant for possession with Denbigh Franks county court bailiffs

Most of the time when you provide the gypsies with the court order they vacate the place in Basingstoke immediately.

Some cases warrant for the involvement of Denbigh Franks's private bailiffs to vacate unwanted visitors in Basingstoke without obtaining an order of possession.

Please note that there must be a minimum of two days between service of papers and the court hearing when proceedings in Basingstoke are undertaken in the Hampshire county court to obtain a court order for eviction under the Civil Procedure Rules 1998.

What Will Be The Cost?

However, if you are planning to clean up the place and remove the rubbish taken in Basingstoke, Brighton Hill, or Hartley Wintney, Denbigh Franks can also provide you with a cost for that.

Can The Police In Basingstoke Do Anything?

Trespassing is not a criminal offence but a civil offence so, the police will only come to visit all sites in Basingstoke that are reported to them.

Thus, the police have nothing to do with trespass prevention or trespassers' eviction as it is the landowner's responsibility in Hampshire.

The Hampshire Police can step in sometimes, for example when they take note of incidents at the area in Basingstoke that is unauthorised and act under the guidelines of the Department for Communities and Local Government and Home Office.

The police have the right to move Gypsies and Travellers in Brighton Hill, Basingstoke, or Hartley Wintney off the land if settled people commit a crime.

When the activities of the group violates the 1994 Criminal Justice and Public Order Act, the police can also evict gypsies and travellers from such land in Basingstoke.

Occasionally, the Hampshire police may use the powers under the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994, Section 61, where there are 6 or more vehicles in Basingstoke.

The police can only use this power if the travellers are engaged in criminal activities or cause public disorder in Basingstoke that are beyond the powers what can be handled with normal criminal legislation, and, their trespassing is a factor to be considered.

The police in Hampshire try to avoid using the Section 61 of the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994 as they are bound by the Human Rights Act when welfare can't be taken care of in civil courts in Brighton Hill, Hartley Wintney, or Basingstoke.

What can the Hampshire council do if the landowner in Basingstoke doesn't act?
