1 story · 1 council

Brent Council's Cabinet has approved amendments to its Gypsy, Roma and Traveller Framework, committing to explore 'negotiated stopping' methods.

Brent Council's Cabinet approved amendments to the borough's Gypsy, Roma and Traveller Framework and Action Plan in October 2026, committing to explore 'negotiated stopping' methods. This decision removed Appendix B from the framework, which previously detailed the council's approach to unauthorised encampments.

The amendments introduce a commitment to explore negotiated stopping for households following a nomadic way of life, as explained by Councillor Robert Johnson, Cabinet Member for Housing, Homelessness and Renters. The framework, adopted in September 2026, aims to improve outcomes for Gypsy, Roma, and Traveller communities.
