Gypsy and traveller sites

Unauthorised Encampments

Everyone has rights, including Gypsies, Travellers and people on whose land unauthorised camping takes place.

Gypsies and Travellers are protected from discrimination by the Race Relations Act 1976, together with all ethnic groups who have a particular culture, language and values, including white and black people.

Local authorities in Cumbria have joined together to produce a Joint agency protocol for responding to unauthorised gypsy and traveller encampments.
