Unauthorised encampments

Overview

Report an unauthorised encampment


Reported encampments

Information on known encampments. 

Brooklands Community Park

The rough sleepers at Brooklands Community Park have been served legal notices by our enforcement team and Surrey Police on Thursday 27 March. As they have not vacated by the deadline of Friday 4 April, the council will proceed with legal proceedings in the county court. We appreciate your patience and understanding while this process is taking place. Please be assured we are dedicated to keeping Brooklands Community Park a welcoming and enjoyable place for all our residents. 


Nomadic life

Nomadic life is not illegal, and Gypsy, Roma, travellers have a basic right to this way of life. It's the aim of Elmbridge Borough Council to ensure all its residents, whether living in settled or transitory communities, are treated equally and with respect. We also recognise that this has to be balanced with the rights of the general public to enjoy private and public land.  

We are obliged to manage unauthorised encampments within the borough on council-owned land. It is not always possible to stop all access and from time to time unauthorised encampments are established.

For more information about unauthorised encampments, see Surrey Police: Unauthorised encampments and you.
