Recommendation
If the Government nonetheless continues to pursue proposals to criminalise unauthorised encampments, the Government should reintroduce a statutory duty on local authorities to make adequate site provision for traveller communities. This would likely have a much greater effect on reducing the number of unauthorised encampments than the imposition of a new criminal offence.
