Quote:
Travellers have been banned from setting up illegal sites across the entirety of an Essex town in an "unprecedented" High Court ruling.

Harlow Council and Essex County Council applied for the interim injunction to prevent unauthorised camps from being set up on 454 "parcels" of land.

Since October 2013, 109 sites in Harlow have been used as illegal camps.

You need an injunction to stop people doing something which was illegal anyway???

Probably quicker and easier to get them off the land, if it is decided by the court in advance, that they can't use the land, rather than having to wait until they start setting up, before you can get an eviction notice. You can get them off the ground before they become entrenched.

That's what I was thinking.

The problems they had shifting a load of them from that farm a few years ago probably means that this preemptive move will bolster the council's legal position.
