Within the UK's housing crisis, there's also a lack of approved places in Stafford for travellers to settle in.
Due to this, the increased numbers of caravans packed on unauthorized land in Stafford such as playing fields, and car parks has been observed in Hixon, Stafford, or Little Haywood.
Statistics from the Government show that the caravan numbers on unauthorized parcels and land in Stafford that doesn't belong to travellers has increased by 17 percent from 2016-2017.
On the other hand there was only a 2% rise in socially rented plots in Staffordshire between 2010 to 2017.
There are two alternatives for local authorities and landowners in Staffordshire if they wish to evict travellers and get back possession of the land in Little Haywood, Stafford, or Hixon.
Firstly, you can start eviction in Staffordshire by use of common law.
The common law allows landowners in Stafford to evict travellers from their Staffordshire property and can use reasonable force if necessary.
Evictions under the common law in Stafford are normally done by enforcement officers.
The travellers are usually given a notice to vacate a place in Stafford within 24 hours by the agents from Denbigh Franks.
If the traveller does not comply to this notice and leave the location in Stafford, Hixon, or Little Haywood, the agents from Denbigh Franks will forcefully remove the traveller, with or without the help of the police.
Common law has many advantageous points in Staffordshire.
Included in this is the speed the eviction in Stafford may be conducted.
In most cases, it takes less than 24 hours to carry out the eviction in Stafford, so, the traveller has less time to damage your property or the land as well as reduce the chances of illegal dumping of wastes on the property.
Staffordshire land owners and local authorities can also obtain a writ of possession if you don't want to use the common law.
To take advantage of this provision in Stafford, you are required to first obtain an order of possession.
The warrant of ownership is rendered against'' persons unknown'' in interacting with travellers and squatters in Stafford, Little Haywood, or Hixon.
After the order of possession has been granted in Stafford, the petitioner can request to transfer it to the High Court to let the order enforced by the Denbigh Franks High Court Enforcement Officer (HCEO).
One of the biggest benefits you can enjoy from transferring a writ of possession in Staffordshire to the High Court is that giving a notice is not mandatory and that decision is left to the Denbigh Franks HCEO exclusively.
The element of surprise is advantageous to the landowner because the Stafford traveller will not have time to cause damage to the property, steal from the owner or offer any resistance in Staffordshire.
The first thing is to try to prevent such situations in the first place instead of dealing with an eviction process in Little Haywood, Stafford, or Hixon and wasting a lot of time and money on it, so, Staffordshire landowners can prevent rising this situation in many different ways.
It is important to take some actions, such as putting fences and gates over the Stafford property and also, having big bollards at entrances is also a great alternative to prevent unapproved individuals from getting inside your property.
On top of this, trenches, earth bunds, and embankments, are as well good methods of securing an area of land in Stafford from unauthorized visitors.
