Unauthorised traveller and gypsy sites
An unauthorised traveller or gypsy site is an encampment of caravans and/or other vehicles on land without the landowner or occupier's consent.
Unauthorised sites or encampments fall into two main categories:
- those on land owned by local authorities (car parks/ parks and open spaces)
- those on privately owned land
Sites we are aware of:
St. James Church, Newchapel: Local authority officers are in discussions with the land owner in regards to this encampment.
