Eviction of unauthorised travellers in Wisbech, Cambridge, or Huntingdon is a complex and frustration process.
A court order must be sought in order to conduct the eviction in Cambridgeshire.
But it's not as simple as it seems; there are several laws and issues to consider before evicting them in Cambridgeshire.
This issue could be twice as complicated for private landowners in Cambridgeshire, as the Cambridgeshire council is in no position to help in the eviction of unwanted campers.
However, the Cambridgeshire council bears the authority to compel property owners in Cambridgeshire to remove illegally settled travellers from their private property.
Apparently, it is unlawful for travellers from Cambridge, Huntingdon, or Wisbech to settle down on any property in Cambridgeshire they have not been authorized to.
It's an offence to park:
A layby that could obstruct and cause dangers to other road users in Cambridgeshire
On cultivated land like a farm land in Cambridgeshire
In enclosed plantations in Cambridgeshire
Some council has areas of waste ground in Cambridge, Wisbech, or Huntingdon that can be used by travellers as temporary sites.
If travellers camp on the council land in Cambridgeshire, a representative from the council will visit the place and evaluate whether visitors should be evicted or not.
Some of the factors the Cambridgeshire representative should consider include how long they hope to stay in Cambridgeshire, are there ill, pregnant, or elderly people among them, making moving very risky and other safety issues that may affect the site will be considered too.
One more thing that the Cambridgeshire council representative has to think about, is that if the vehicles on the land used by the travellers are of appropriate size or not, moreover, if the land in Cambridgeshire that belongs to The council needs to be used shortly or not.
It is possible for the council to take a minor fee from the travellers from Cambridge, Huntingdon, or Wisbech and provide facilities to them in Cambridgeshire such as bags for bins needed to dispose off garbage or toilets that are portable.
The travellers can request these services in Cambridgeshire from the council to maintain public health.
Local authorities in Cambridgeshire need to apply for injunctions and court orders.
First of all, they need to provide the proof that the travellers are on the land without consent in Cambridgeshire.
The removal date in Cambridgeshire would depend on the date of having a court hearing.
In most of the situations, the occupiers in Cambridge, Huntingdon, or Wisbech will avoid them being removed by leaving Cambridgeshire after talking to a council official.
The Council or landowner (as the case may be) in Cambridgeshire might involve the Police in the matter and the Police can evict the travellers in Cambridgeshire if they are more than two (2), if they were behaving in a threatening manner, if they damaged property, or if parked more than six (6) vehicles on the land.
The police will appear to request that the Cambridgeshire travellers leave the land in the least amount of time possible.
They will be given ample time to pack up their property and repair vehicles with any mechanical issues in Wisbech, Huntingdon, or Cambridge.
If travellers are insistent in remaining on the property in Cambridgeshire within the specified period, or if they come back to the same land in Cambridgeshire within 90 days, this is regarded as a criminal violation.
If convicted this offence can lead to imprisonment or a fine.
The vehicles will be towed away by the Cambridgeshire police and if within 21 days they will not have been claimed, they will be crushed at the salvage yard.
