Laughing at the law: Travellers set up illegal camps while councils are closed

Press Release from Mark Harper MP - 01 June 2009

MP backs enforcement action against Newent travellers

“I am pleased that the Council has issued not just an enforcement notice but also a ‘stop’ notice which prohibits any further work being carried out on the site or any more caravans being moved on to it. This will also apply to any contractors. I understand that local residents were briefed on these latest moves on Friday by the local district councillor, Len Lawton.

This case has highlighted the weakness in the overall legal framework which brings the law into disrepute. I am raising this issue with my colleagues on our local government team to look at what steps we could take in government to put matters right.”
