Residential squatting in council property

Response to this request is long overdue. By law, under all circumstances, Enfield Council should have responded by now (details). You can complain by requesting an internal review.

Dear Enfield Council,

This request concerns squatting in residential buildings (a criminal offence under Section 144 of the Legal Aid, Sentencing and Punishment of Offenders Act 2012).
I would like to know the below information for the period from when the offence became law in September 2012 to the present:

1a) The number of times you have found people squatting in residential buildings you own or control?
1b) I would like the date for each of these events and the full postcode (so it does not identify the exact building but gives the small area so I can see if a particular area is being targeted).

2) The action taken:
2a) I would like to know for each event whether the police were called?
2b) And if they were, how many arrests were made? And, if recorded, what for?
2c) Was there a following criminal court case, and if so what for? Against how many people? And what was the outcome? (As if there was, you would most likely have to attend as a witness to the trespassing or submit evidence and so could potentially record this information).
2d) Was civil court action taken to remove the trespassers? If so was an IPO used? Were high court bailiffs booked? How much was spent on the hire of bailiffs?

3) Could I have any internal written communications or documents made about events of residential squatting in council property? OR guidance to dealing with residential squatting in council property?

Yours faithfully,

Flo Night
