How Will I Be Able To Get Travellers Moved From Suffolk In Suffolk

Is it the responsibility of the council to evict Travellers or Gypsies in Suffolk who have occupied land without the owner's consent?

No.

In case gypsies or travellers decide to camp on public property in Lowestoft, Ipswich, or Bury Saint Edmunds, the council is permitted to evict them, but, the council is not allowed to get them out in the event that they have occupied a private property in Suffolk, and the landlord has full responsibility to eject them.

What Can I Do If Gypsies Or Travellers Camp On Your Land In Suffolk?

First and foremost, you will need to discuss with the visitors you want to evict and let them know that the property is yours.

You may request to know why they decided to settle there in Suffolk's Suffolk and the time they wish to vacate.

Take a critical look at their activities to see if they constitute disturbance or nuisance in Suffolk.

In case they have encroached all around the road or freeway in Suffolk, you need to call the County Council of Suffolk.

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.

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

Most Gypsy and Traveller families love the opportunity to speak to other members of the community in Suffolk.

However, they constantly face racism and intolerance from people, so, they are always cautious and defensive.

If you sense talks aren't going well, stop the talks for the time being and look for advice from Denbigh Franks first.

Is It Ok To Let Them Stay In Suffolk's Suffolk If They Aren't Causing Any Problem?

If no problems are caused, usually small groups are allowed to make a short stay by the landowners in Ipswich, Bury Saint Edmunds, or Lowestoft where the relations are good at the beginning.

In Suffolk, they appreciate the community's life and trade contributed by the culture of the Travellers and Gypsies, even though it will be for a while.

Yet, camping on a certain part of Suffolk property for a prolonged period of time may require the Town Council's approval.

What Happens If I Want To Reclaim My Land In Suffolk In Suffolk From Them?

You can consult your solicitor in Suffolk who may direct you to start the possession steps from the civil courts under Part 55 of the Civil Procedure Rules.

Here is how to go about the reclaiming of your property:

Requesting unwanted visitors in Suffolk to vacate

Issue and serve a summons to the court in Suffolk

Requesting for an ownership notice from court in Suffolk

Serving the order of possession in Suffolk, if need be

Executing a warrant for possession with Denbigh Franks county court bailiffs

Usually, Gypsies and Travellers will vacate once an order is served in Suffolk.

In some cases, you can instruct Denbigh Franks's bailiffs to remove unauthorised Travellers in Suffolk without a possession order.

Take note that at least 2 full days is between the services of the order and the court hearing date before a court order for eviction in Suffolk can be granted for eviction in the Suffolk county court, as stipulated in the 1998 Civil Procedure Rules.

What Will Be The Expense?

You have to confirm the fees first because you have to pay your Suffolk solicitor fees as well.

You're responsible for disposing of the waste in Ipswich, Lowestoft, or Bury Saint Edmunds, but Denbigh Franks can offer you a quote for the work if you prefer.

How Can The Police Help In Suffolk?

Trespassing is not a criminal offence but a civil offence so, the police will only come to visit all sites in Suffolk that are reported to them.

The Suffolk property holder is accountable for safeguarding against trespass and evicting unwanted occupants as police do not get involved.

Nevertheless, the Suffolk Police can get involved in some occasions for example when they monitor incidents in Suffolk on the unauthorised area and act under the guidelines of the Department for Communities and Local Government and Home Office.

Gypsies and travellers in Lowestoft, Bury Saint Edmunds, or Ipswich are evicted from the land by police where the probability of criminal activity is established, however, the crime must be proven just like the settled people.

Under the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994, the police have the option to ask travellers in Suffolk to vacate your land if they flout the provisions of that Act.

Officers in Suffolk can use powers under Section 61 of the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994 in certain circumstances where the Suffolk Gypsies/Travellers have with them six or more vehicles.

However, if the crime is serious or there is a public nuisance that cannot be resolved in Suffolk, these powers need to be exercised where the land trespassing is an applicable factor.

Human Rights Act has bounded the Suffolk police to use the power due to these police may like to avoid using section 61 of the criminal justice and public order act 1994 in situations where welfare considerations would likely to be applied by the Civil courts in Lowestoft, Bury Saint Edmunds, or Ipswich.

If the Suffolk landowner could not take the adequate measures to evict the Travellers and gypsies, then what will Council in Suffolk do?

If the Suffolk property holder violates any permit or setting requirements, the Suffolk council may take appropriate measures against him/her to remove them from unwanted settlement.
