CARAVANS
Under the Caravan Sites and Control of Development Act 1960, there are three sites
licensed in the Borough. One licence is for a single site at Brookhill, Stanmore, and the
other two licences are for sites on either side of the Barnet By Pass at Stirling Corner
for 137 caravans.
Conditions annexed to the licences provide, inter alia, for the provision of water
supply, drainage, sanitation and washing facilities and refuse disposal. Periodical
inspections are made to check compliance with these conditions.
Itinerant caravan dwellers who from time to time halt on verges of the main roads
which traverse the Borough present problems, both in respect of unsatisfactory
conditions created by their business activities and socially by reason of their
totally sub-standard existence.
Arising from the Ministry of Housing and Local Government Circular No.49/68 on
gypsies and other travellers and Part II of the Caravan Sites Act 1968, an investigation
into the need and possibility of providing a camp site for gypsies and other travellers
is under consideration.
