How Can I Get Travellers Moved In Berkshire's Maidenhead

Is the local council in Maidenhead saddled with the responsibility of moving travellers when they camp without landowner's permission?

No.

In case travellers or gypsies have camped on land owned by the council in Marlow, Maidenhead, or Cookham, the council has the mandate to remove them, however, the council cannot evict them if they have camped on private land in Berkshire, and it is the responsibility of the landowner to evict them.

What Must I Do If Gypsies Or Travellers Camps On My Property In Maidenhead?

Talking to them is the first thing you should do, make it clear that you actually own the land.

Get to know the reason they are there, and the duration they will stay on your land in Maidenhead in Berkshire.

You can get in touch with the Berkshire County Council in case the visitors have camped on a right of way or highway in Maidenhead.

What Of The Situation Where The Maidenhead Gypsies Or Travellers Refuse To Talk To Me?

Often, Gypsies and Travellers are open-minded to the idea of having a chance to speak to other members of the area in Berkshire.

However, also remember that they face a lot of impatience and racial discrimination so show so they may be careful about talking openly in the first meeting.

But if things worsen, stop the discussion temporarily and seek Denbigh Franks's advice.

If The Visitors Do Not Create Any Issues, Can They Stay In Berkshire's Maidenhead?

Some landowners in Maidenhead, Cookham, or Marlow don't have any problems with the small groups when they have established good relations with them in the beginning.

Can The Police In Maidenhead Do Anything?

The police can attend all the sites in Maidenhead reported to them but trespassing is not an offence that is criminal, it is a civil offence.

All situations of unauthorized occupying in Maidenhead will be evaluated properly by the Berkshire police and necessary action will be taken as set out in the instructions of the Department for Communities and Local Government and Home Office.

In some cases, where there are more than 5 vehicles belonging to the travellers in Maidenhead, under Section 61 of the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994, Berkshire police have the right to use powers.

This authority can be used only when there is a serious disturbance or criminal act in Maidenhead and the case is not able to get settled by the usual criminal legislation.

If the owner of the land in Maidenhead does not take any action to expel gypsies or travellers then what happens with the Berkshire council?
