Traveller Eviction In Wandsworth In Greater London

Not only do we have a housing crisis in the UK, but also limited authorised locations in Wandsworth where travellers can put up campsites.

Because of this factor, an increase in the number of travellers in Wandsworth is observed setting up on unauthorized campsites in Battersea, Balham, or Putney which include car parks as well as playing grounds.

According to governments statistics, it has been reported that the caravan parked on unauthorised spaces in Wandsworth increased up to 17% between 2016 to 2017.

That is to degrade government's efforts at ensuring socially rented plots in Greater London, which now grows at a meagre 2% between 2010 and 2017.
