Outside of these sites, if gypsies and travellers set up a camp on council-owned land, and if they're causing problems, they'll be moved on as soon as is possible and reasonable according to the council.
In May, a caravan 'camp' suddenly appeared at the Stray in Harrogate before moving on after several days.
