How Travellers Can Be Relocated From Greater London's Hounslow

Does the council in Hounslow have the power to move Gypsies or Travellers when they encamped without the landowner's permission?

No.

The council can only evict Travellers or Gypsies on a council-owned piece of land in Hythe End, Wraysbury, or Egham, but the campsite set up on private land in Greater London will be the duty of the landowner to force them out.

What Can Be Done If Gypsies Or Travellers Have Occupied Your Hounslow Land?

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

Talk to them if they want to stay or how long will they be staying on your land in Greater London's Hounslow.

During this discussion, you need to figure out if they are going to cause any trouble for you or not in Hounslow.

If the group has overflowed onto a highway in Hounslow then you should contact the County Council of Greater London.

Before making any move, let your lawyer know details of your situation and inquire about the potential incurred charges.

What If The Hounslow Gypsies Or Travellers Refuse To Talk To Me?

Many families from amongst the travellers and gypsies are amicable and enjoy talking to members of different communities in Greater London.

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

But, if negotiations still aren't making progress, then don't worry too much about it and ask for advice from Denbigh Franks.

Can I Let Them Stay In Greater London's Hounslow If There Are No Problems?

Some landowners in Egham, Hythe End, or Wraysbury will be happy to let small groups stay if there are no problems and good relations are established.

In Hounslow, they appreciate the community's life and trade contributed by the culture of the Travellers and Gypsies, even though it will be for a while.

However, occupying an area of land in Greater London for a long time will need authorization from the City Council.

What Step Should Be Taken If Your Land's Possession Is To Be Regained By You In Greater London's Hounslow?

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

The eviction process through this rule involves:

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

Making and serving a Greater London court summons

Seeking a Hounslow possession order in court

Serve the possession order you obtained in Greater London

Implementing a warrant for possession with help from court bailiffs at Denbigh Franks

Usually, the gypsies and travellers in Hounslow vacate independently once the order is served.

In some cases, you can hire private bailiffs from Denbigh Franks to remove unauthorized occupants in Hounslow without a possession order.

Bear in mind, when the process of taking out a Civil Procedure Rule 1998 for the eviction of the travellers in Hounslow, there must be at least a minimum of two days between serving the documents and the hearing in the court in Greater London.

What Are The Expenses Incurred?

Your legal agent in Hounslow will charge their own fees so confirm the costs first.

You will also dispose of the rubbish in Wraysbury, Egham, or Hythe End on your property, but Denbigh Franks are able to quote you for this.

What Role Do The Police Play In Hounslow?

Police will visit all the reported sites in Hounslow, but trespass is a civil offense rather than a criminal offence.

Removal and prevention of trespassers are the responsibilities of the landowner in Greater London and not the police.

A thorough assessment of unauthorised camping in Hounslow is carried out by the Greater London police to determine the mode of action to apply under the Department for Communities and Local Government and Home Office guidelines.

Note, though, that the police are empowered to move travellers or gypsies off a piece of land in Wraysbury, Egham, or Hythe End if it can be established that they have carried out some criminal activities in the past.

On top of this, they also have the power to 'direct' travellers off the land in Hounslow when the behaviour of the group contradicts the Public Order Act of 1994 and Criminal Justice.

Officers in Greater London can use powers under Section 61 of the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994 in certain circumstances where the Hounslow Gypsies/Travellers have with them six or more vehicles.

But they can only use search powers in serious criminality or public disorders scenarios in Hounslow which cannot be dealt with normal criminal legislation and where the land occupation by trespassing is a relevant factor.

Human Rights Act has bounded the Greater London police to use the power due to these police may like to avoid using section 61 of the criminal justice and public order act 1994 in situations where welfare considerations would likely to be applied by the Civil courts in Hythe End, Wraysbury, or Egham.

What if the Hounslow landowner does not take the appropriate action to evict the unwanted occupiers, what action will the Greater London council take?

If the landowner in Hounslow fails to comply with any planning or licensing requirements, we will proceed against the landowner requiring removal of the unauthorized encampment in Greater London.
