The council recognises and accepts the rights of Gypsies and
Travellers to
live a nomadic way of life and recognises Gypsies
as a racial group.
The council also recognises Government Circulars/guidelines and
its statutory duties with regard to Gypsy and Traveller
families.
Traveller sites
The council is not able to provide traveller sites/ stopping
places to meet the needs of all travellers owing to planning and
resource constraints, other than the existing Northview Caravan
Site, which is usually full.
Access to services
The council aims to ensure that all people in Redbridge feel
they are part of an inclusive society, where all have equal access
to services and other facilities. The council confirms the
commitment to equal opportunities for all residents and users of
services, and to continue adopting services to meet the different
needs of all communities.
The council also recognises that all members of the community
have the right to enjoy a quality of life that is free of
harassment and offensive behaviour and is committed to use the law
to tackle all forms of anti-social behaviour.
The Government issues all policies and laws with regard to
travellers. These are then adopted into all council
procedures.
