Unauthorised encampments

Unauthorised encampments on car parks

We focus our efforts on moving an encampment on and the legal processes that this involves, rather than trying to enforce the collection of car parking charges.

The process usually takes on average between 7 to 10 days.

In most instances, the issues arising from the unauthorised encampment for the community are minimal. Surrey Police are aware of the unauthorised encampment and will continue to monitor it with the Joint Enforcement Team*. Guidance on when to call the police regarding an unauthorised encampment, together with more information, can be found on the Surrey Police website. If you need to report an incident (ASB or crime) please call 101 or report an emergency on 999 or report Anti social behaviour through Elmbridge Borough Council’s website.
