A NEW strategy to provide a framework for better co-ordination between the agencies involved with tackling unauthorised traveller encampments in Warwickshire is to be created following a county meeting chaired by Police and Crime Commissioner Philip Seccombe.
The meeting involved all of the agencies with powers to deal with unauthorised traveller encampments on public land, including the police, county, district and borough councils.
PCC Seccombe said: “I know the issues that unauthorised encampments pose for residents and local business can be severe and there is a perception that more should be done or that efforts are not being made quickly enough to move on encampments when they arise.”
