How To Get Travellers Relocated From Bournemouth In Dorset

Does the council have the authority to remove travellers or gypsies when they have settled on a land in Bournemouth without permission from the landowner?

No is the answer!

The council can only evict Gypsies or Travellers if they encamped on council-owned land in Bournemouth, Newport, or Christchurch, but if the campsite is on private land in Dorset, it's the landowner's responsibility to evict them.

What Can I Do If Gypsies Or Travellers Are On My Land In Bournemouth?

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

Also, ask them the reason for being there and the time frame they are hoping to stay in Bournemouth in Dorset.

Find out if they can cause trouble in Bournemouth.

You should contact the Dorset County Council if the encampment has spread to the highway in Bournemouth.

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 To Do If The Travellers Or Gypsies In Bournemouth Won't Talk With The Landowner?

Most Gypsy and Traveller families love the opportunity to speak to other members of the community in Dorset.

There are likelihoods that the gypsies/travellers' racist tendencies and intolerances may force them to ignore you at the onset.

If you sense talks aren't going well, stop the talks for the time being and look for advice from Denbigh Franks first.

Is It Fine If You Let The Gypsies And The Travellers Stay On Your Land In Bournemouth In Dorset If There Is No Problem?

Whenever good relationships are initially, property owners in Newport, Bournemouth, or Christchurch are likely to permit small groupings to camp for a while in the event that they stay peacefully.

Some Bournemouth landowners appreciate the travellers' contributions to their community and commerce, although this may be temporary.

Long-term camping may warrant obtaining planning permission from the City Council in Dorset.

What Happens If I Want To Reclaim My Land In Bournemouth In Dorset From Them?

You can consult your solicitor in Bournemouth who may direct you to start the possession steps from the civil courts under Part 55 of the Civil Procedure Rules.

This involves:

Asking the travellers to leave your Bournemouth property

Providing these gypsies in Dorset with the court orders

Going to the court to seek an order of possession in Bournemouth

Serving the possession order in Dorset

Effecting a warrant for repossession using the Denbigh Franks county court bailiffs

In most cases, they usually leave a property in Bournemouth once they are served an order.

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

Also, remember that when hearing is scheduled in the Dorset County Court to get a court order for the eviction of travellers from your land in Bournemouth there must be a minimum of two clear days between serving of documents and court hearing.

How Much Will This Process Cost?

First, you must find out the expenses as lawyers' in Bournemouth fees vary.

You're responsible for disposing of the waste in Bournemouth, Newport, or Christchurch, but Denbigh Franks can offer you a quote for the work if you prefer.

What Can The Police In Bournemouth Do?

The police can attend all the sites in Bournemouth reported to them but trespassing is not an offence that is criminal, it is a civil offence.

It is not the responsibility of the police to vacate the space, it is the landowners in Dorset.

Dorset Police in will always assess every situation of unauthorized camping in Bournemouth carefully and will take the appropriate action as stipulated in the guidelines of the Department for Communities and Local Government and Home Office.

Police have powers to move Gypsies or Travelers off land in Bournemouth, Newport, or Christchurch, where they can set up criminal activity-just as settled people have to prove crime.

The police also have the discretionary power to evict Travellers in Bournemouth where group action goes against the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994.

In some cases, such as where 6 or more vehicles are accompanied by travellers in Bournemouth, Powers under section 61 of the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994 can be used by the Dorset officers.

These legal rights can only be put into practice one public disorder or behaviour in Bournemouth cannot be handled by normal criminal proceedings and will eliminate the trespassing factor as an issue.

The Human Rights Act bound the Dorset police, but in circumstances where it would prevent welfare considerations from being applied by the civil courts in Bournemouth, Newport, or Christchurch, they may be constrained to avoid using Section 61 of the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994.

What can the Dorset council do if the landowner in Bournemouth doesn't take appropriate eviction action against the gypsies?

If the landlord in Bournemouth has committed a violation of any planning a license requirement then Council will take the proceedings against the landowner that needs the removal of the unauthorised encampment in Dorset.
