Thank you to everyone who has been in touch with local councillors Lesley Rennie, Paul Hayes and Ian Lewis since the latest illegal encampment arrived at the Dips on Tuesday evening.
The first available court hearing for the Council was today and the Council’s Legal Department was successful in obtaining a Possession Order. The encampment has now been served with the Order.
The Council also obtained a Writ of Execution and have forwarded all necessary Court documentation to the bailiffs for it to be implemented this weekend.
While the recent changes to the law have helped to reduce the time it takes the council to obtain possession orders, we have also asked the chief executive to again look at measures that can prevent unauthorised vehicle access in the first place, without spoiling the area for law abiding residents - a link to that request is below.
