Social Welfare Lawyers in the Centre of Birmingham

Gypsies and Travellers

We take on work for Gypsies and Travellers who live in caravans.  In terms of our Travellers’ work, we do not take on cases for Gypsies and Travellers who live in houses or flats.

In terms of Gypsies and Travellers who live in caravans, we deal with the following cases:-

  • Evictions from encampments/evictions from rented sites
  • Planning cases
  • Allocation of pitches and Homelessness
  • Challenges to policy and statute

We also deal with cases for liveaboard boaters especially cases concerning the so called Continuous Cruising Guidance.

If you know someone or have a client who comes within these areas then please ask them to phone CLP switchboard (NOT the advice  line) on  0121 685 8595.
