The decision follows a significant increase in unauthorised traveller encampments across the city, prompting concerns about safety, security, and community tensions. The ‘negotiated stopping’ initiative was initially introduced as a means to manage traveller stays more effectively by designating areas where temporary sites could be legally established with mutual agreement.
