How To Move Travellers In Scunthorpe In Lincolnshire

Is it the council's responsibility to evict the travellers in Scunthorpe if they are camped on unauthorized sites?

The answer is no.

The council can only evict Gypsies or Travellers if they encamped on council-owned land in Belvedere, Erith, or Bexley, but if the campsite is on private land in Lincolnshire, it's the landowner's responsibility to evict them.

What To Do In Case Travellers Or Gypsies Have Camped On Your Scunthorpe Land?

The first thing you can do is to talk to them and make it clear that this is your site they are living on.

You can ask them the reasons why they have settled there and when they plan to leave Lincolnshire's Scunthorpe.

Run an assessment to determine whether there is a cause of the disturbance in Scunthorpe.

You should contact the Lincolnshire County Council if the encampment has spread to the highway in Scunthorpe.

One other thing that you need to do is to report to the authorities and look for the legal advice about all the light legal cost.

How Can The Police Help In Scunthorpe?

The Police will only attend distress calls to unauthorised sites in Scunthorpe but cannot act because it is a civil offence, not criminal.

The police do not have the legal right to remove trespassers from privately owned land in Lincolnshire, this is down to the owner of the land.

The Lincolnshire Police can step in sometimes, for example when they take note of incidents at the area in Scunthorpe that is unauthorised and act under the guidelines of the Department for Communities and Local Government and Home Office.

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

If the group behaviour of the Travellers in Scunthorpe is going against the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994 then the police can use its power to evict the travellers from the land.

In some circumstances in Scunthorpe (e.g. where the Gypsies / Travelers have six or more vehicles with them), Lincolnshire officers may use powers under Section 61 of the 1994 Criminal Justice and Public Order Act.

The powers may only be applied in case of a serious crime or disorder in Scunthorpe and the condition proves beyond the common criminal law and trespasser settlement is related issue.

The Human Rights Acts restricts police in Lincolnshire from enforcing Section 61 of the 1994 Criminal Justice and Public Order is situations where the welfare considerations in Belvedere, Bexley, or Erith are excluded from being enforced in the civil courts.

What will council in Lincolnshire do if the landowner in Scunthorpe couldn't remove the travellers?
