Council injunction bans van dwellers from talking to local residents at 'High Impact' road

People living in vans and caravans in one Bristol street have been threatened with the possibility of prison if they talk to the people who live in the houses on the same street. The ban is included in a series of behaviour orders issued by a judge at Bristol’s County Court after an application by Bristol City Council targeting people living in camper vans and caravans on Greenbank View, near Easton.

The injunction order has been addressed to ‘persons unknown’, and stuck to the doors of all the vehicles in the road next to Greenbank Cemetery. They warn people that if they do not comply with the order they may be held in contempt of court, arrested, ‘imprisoned or fined’, and have their assets seized.
