How To Get Travellers To Depart From Hillingdon In Greater London

Does the Council have an obligation to vacate Gypsies or Travelers when they camp without permission from the land owners in Hillingdon?

No.

When Gypsies or Travelers are camped on government-owned land in Denham Green, Wood End Green, or South Harefield, they may be removed by the council, but if the camp is on private land in Greater London, it is typically the duty of the landowner.

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

The foremost thing that you need to do is to talk to gypsies and travellers.

Find out their reason for being there in Hillingdon, Greater London, and how long they intend staying.

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

In case they have encroached all around the road or freeway in Hillingdon, you need to call the County Council of Greater London.

What Should Be Done If Hillingdon Gypsies Or Travellers Don't Want To Talk?

In many cases, there are those Travellers and Gypsies who are willing to talk to members of another community in Greater London.

Bear in mind that they may be cautious at first about talking to you openly because they face a lot of racism and intolerance.

If you think the discussion isn't going to bring any fruitful results, you should stop talking to them and seek Denbigh Franks's advice.

If There Aren't Issues, Is It Ok To Allow Them To Stay In Hillingdon In Greater London?

Some landowners in Denham Green, Wood End Green, or South Harefield are happy to allow small groups to stay where good relationships are established early and no major problems arise.

Some in Hillingdon welcome the contribution made by the culture of Gypsy and Traveller to trade and community life, even if only for a short time.

However, they'd have to take permission from the authorities in Greater London to get the long-term occupation.
