When Travellers are settling illegally on the council's land in Kennington, Brixton, or Lambeth, it is a difficult job to vacate these Travellers.
To remove them in Lambeth, the council must obtain a court order.
They may have to go through many processes because of the several laws to be considered before the eviction in Greater London is proper.
To property owners in Lambeth, the expulsion process can prove extremely hard since the Greater London council have no authority to provide support in evicting unlawful settlement on personal property.
Nevertheless, the council in Greater London has the powers to force landowners in Lambeth to evict travellers illegally settled on their private land.
Without consent of the landowner in Lambeth, travellers from Brixton, Lambeth, or Kennington do not have the authority to occupy any land.
Places considered out of bounds for parking include:
On the road, junction, or layby in Lambeth that may create a knock-on effect of danger
Farmlands in Greater London where cultivation is going on
In enclosed plantations in Lambeth such as forest-owned land
Travelers can temporarily encamp on waste grounds in Lambeth, Brixton, or Kennington belonging to some councils.
If Travellers are using the council's land for encampment in Lambeth, the Council representative may visit the site and will analyse whether they should be evicted or not.
There are several factors that a Greater London council representative will need to consider before deciding whether to evict travellers, for example, how long the invaders will stay in Lambeth, safety issues that can affect the site and the condition of the visitors such as age and health status where it could be risky to remove them.
One more thing that the Greater London 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 Lambeth that belongs to The council needs to be used shortly or not.
If the travellers from Lambeth, Brixton, or Kennington are on the land in Lambeth, the council may provide some amenities such as bin bags and portable toilets at a small fee.
The travellers can request these facilities in Lambeth from the council for the public's health.
The local authority in Greater London will have to apply for court orders and injunctions.
First of all, they need to provide the proof that the travellers are on the land without consent in Lambeth.
The eviction of travellers in Lambeth will depend upon when the court hearing is scheduled by the court.
In some cases, travellers in Kennington, Lambeth, or Brixton and the local authorities reach on an agreement regarding a leaving date in order to prevent eviction in Greater London.
The landowner or council in Lambeth can contact the police to immediately evict travellers from their site in Greater London if they are trespassing, or if they behaved in a threatening or abusive manner or if they have too many vehicles parked on the land or one of them has caused damage.
Police officers will order the travellers in Lambeth to get going as quickly as possible for them to do so.
However, time to pack up the stuff and fix any mechanically faulted vehicle near to Kennington, Lambeth, or Brixton should be given to them.
In case the travellers decline to get out from Lambeth within the agreed period or return to the area in Greater London after only three months, this will be considered a criminal act.
The Police can hand down a prison sentence or fine the travellers if they get convicted.
The police can also tow away vehicles on the land in Lambeth, which will then be destroyed if not claimed within 21 days.
You must bring this to the notice of the local council in Greater London immediately so that they can thoroughly inspect the travellers' safety and the impact of their presence on the community in Lambeth.
