Stand with Gypsies and Travellers.
Nomadism is not illegal in the UK.
Support Negotiated Stopping.
The Policing, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Bill will squeeze out the right for Gypsies and Travellers to live how they wish. The Government plans to bring in new laws which mean people living roadside could face imprisonment, a £2500 fine or their home being taken from them.
All for the ‘crime’ of having nowhere to stop.
There is another way.
Under a Negotiated Stopping approach, people are listened to rather than criminalised. A safe place to stop is agreed with councils, police and residents. This approach has saved money and improved lives.
You can make a difference.
Ask your local council to use Negotiated Stopping in your area and find common ground.
