Transport for London (TfL) has received a court-issued possession order allowing for the removal of illegal tents from Park Lane in central London. This encampment, located near the Hilton Hotel, currently houses around 12 tents. The possession order follows a previous operation last October, where authorities cleared about 40 people from the same location. Westminster City councillors have urged for prompt action and a sustainable solution to prevent future encampments, expressing concern over public safety and local deterioration due to anti-social behavior. TfL emphasizes its commitment to safety and welfare in its enforcement actions.
The court-issued possession order follows a separate order last October which saw about 40 people cleared from the site, highlighting the ongoing struggle with encampments.
No one should be faced with sleeping rough on London’s streets. Park Lane is a busy part of the road network that is not a safe place for people to sleep.
