Travellers

Hi just need some clarification;

I have a friend who has inherited some land (location not disclosed) from his parents recently, the problem is three caravans with members of the travelling community have decided to 'park' at the entrance to the field!

Of course he his not going to approach them without first knowing his rights first.

Can anybody advise as to who he should approach about removing these lovely people of the land?

My advice would be not to come into AH asking about advice on how to deal with travellers.;)

"get along"

"Move"

"Shift"

if they have been there for years, it will be hard to get rid of them. If you live near ballinasloe, and they turned up in the last 2 weeks, they will be gone after the horse fair!

john-joe

:rolleyes:

beginning to regret this now....


anyways keep the advice/comments coming

Leave a flyer promising "attractive cousins" in a nearby town

Long Onion

Unbeknownst to them, reside in a little used part of their caravan for 12 years, should they find you, you can intimidate them into leaving you alone. After this period has expired, you can claim the caravan as your own under the doctrine of adverse possession - you could then have it removed to a location of your own choosing quite legally.

I hope this helps,

Yours etc,

Burn them out or fight them for access. They love a good fight.

you mean hand to hand combat?

Bandit12

Tell them theres a new social welfare office opening up the road and the first 10 callers get a free caravan.

KilOit

Maybe bake a nice pie and arrive up to their door with the pie and nice welcome basket to welcome them to the community,
They'll know then that they ain't gonna get money from you so probably move on straight away.

8k2q1gfcz9s5d4

Offer them a job, they will run away in case they have to work for money instead of poping out babies and living of the dole and child benefit

john-joe

I guess they are appraochable enough

His land.. Not theirs..
Depends how long they've been there really but unless its a few years I doubt its an issue.

Still getting them to move voluntarily would be waaaayyyy easier

Been there for around 3 months or so, obviously my friends parents were old and did not want any trouble, they used they land to park their vans and dogs and children and vests etc....

You could pretend that the land belongs to Liam Carroll - ACC couldn't give a fcuk about social convention.

Not sure what a pikey is but might get one of these signs...

Get some big rocks and place them across the access so they cant leave..they dont like being hemmed in.
Tell them you'll remove the barricades on condition they move on.
