Along with the residence crisis in the UK, there aren't many authorized camping grounds for travellers in Maidenhead.
A shortage of approved places in Maidenhead has culminated in a drastic increase in the number of travellers set up on illegal camps in Maidenhead, Marlow, or Cookham such as car parks and playgrounds.
According to statistics from the government, from 2016 to 2017 there was a 17 percent increase in the number of travellers on unauthorized areas in Maidenhead that are not owned by travellers.
And socially rented plots in Berkshire had only increased by 2% between the years 2010 and 2017.
Property owners and local authorities in Berkshire have 2 options when looking to repossess land and evict travellers in Cookham, Marlow, or Maidenhead.
The first option is to use the common law to evict them in Berkshire.
Under common law, landowners in Maidenhead are allowed to evict travellers from their Berkshire land and use reasonable force if necessary.
Evictions of travellers under common law in Maidenhead are often carried out by enforcement agents.
The notice of 24hrs is given to the travellers to vacate the place in Maidenhead and the notice is served by the Denbigh Franks enforcement agents.
Assuming the travellers have not vacated the site in Marlow, Cookham, or Maidenhead within the specified period, Denbigh Franks enforcement agents will come back with equipment and possibly the police if need be, to evict any traveller still camping on the land.
Eviction by common law in Berkshire comes with certain benefits.
Use of common law has various benefits including time taken to achieve eviction in Maidenhead.
Mostly, the general eviction law is carried out within 24 hours and this implies that there will be very few damages to land or property in Maidenhead and reduced chances for trash damping.
Another choice is land owners and local authorities in Berkshire obtaining a writ of possession.
Receiving an order of occupancy is the first move to evicting under a custody warrant in Maidenhead.
Order of possession is made out to persons unknown against the travellers or squatters in Maidenhead, Marlow, or Cookham.
The moment the property holder has been served with the notice of ownership in Maidenhead, it is normally moved to High Court to be executed by a Denbigh Franks High Court officer.
The main advantage of using a possessions writ and transferring to High Court the order in Berkshire is that notice is not necessarily given, as the Denbigh Franks HCEO will decide it depending on the situation, that either to give the notice or not.
To use the second option while dealing with Maidenhead travellers is quite beneficial as chances of damage to property or steal from the property are much reduced due to the surprise factor which reduces the chances of resistance to the expected eviction in Berkshire.
There are several things local authorities and landowners in Berkshire can do to stop these situations from arising, as prevention is always better when dealing with an eviction in Maidenhead, Marlow, or Cookham and the potential time and money involved.
It is important to take some actions, such as putting fences and gates over the Maidenhead property and also, having big bollards at entrances is also a great alternative to prevent unapproved individuals from getting inside your property.
In comparison, embankments, soil bunds and pits are also a perfect way to secure a land area in Maidenhead from unwanted visitors.
