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.
