How Traveller Evictions In West Yorkshire's Leeds Are Conducted On Land Of The Council

What Can Councils Do To Remove Unapproved Encampments On Their Land In Leeds?

Dislodging unapproved traveller camps set up in public places in Leeds, Pudsey, or Newsam Green can be a long, annoying, and challenging task to carry out.
