We have a Gypsy Liaison team responsible for the management of permanent caravan parks in Hull. We help residents to get access to mainstream services. We also liaise with residents and external services to promote community development.
Our services are delivered in line with our policy to Gypsies and travellers.

Water supply
The occupier is required to pay for the water and sewerage charges connected with the supply of water to the pitch in accordance with the owner's written instruction.
Temporary stopping places
We do not have any transit or temporary stopping places.
Local residents concerns
We aim to ensure that the needs and concerns of local residents are balanced with needs of the travelling communities.
If you have concerns about Travellers or Gypsies on land near you, you can contact us.
If the land is private, it is the responsibility of the landowner to take appropriate action. If the land is council land, and is not approved as a permanent caravan site, you can notify us and we will take the appropriate steps.
