Occupying, camping on, squatting in property or the highway should be a criminal offence. the Police must be given full powers to evict and disperse squatters, protesters travellers and any other person or group if they:
-block any road, footpath or highway
- occupy any private or public property without explicit permission of the owner , tenant or manager
- in any way deprive the lawful owner/occuper the use of the property
- fail to move on or leave a property when requested to do so by the Police or the lawful owner/occuper or appointed manager
