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.

Members of the public wishing to report an unauthorised encampment can do so by contacting Carlisle City Council 01228 817200  or by emailing, [email protected]

Out of office hours encampments should be reported to Cumbria Constabulary on 101 for non emergencies and 999 in an emergency.
