Wanderers to Return.

The Travellers who were finally evicted from Dale Farm on in Essex last month are planning to return once the site has been cleared and work on the site ceases.

The council eviction of travellers from the illegally occupied areas of the Dale Farm site followed a decade-long row over unauthorised residence and failure to obtain planning permiussion. Contractors started clearing the site after a successful police operation to remove protesters.

More evidence needed

Lawyers for Basildon Council told a High Court judge travellers had told workers that they aimed to return but Mr Justice Langstaff said he wanted more detailed evidence of the threats before granting any injunction banning the reoccupation of the site. He adjourned the hearing until Monday.

Travellers will return

Basildon Council, said it needs an injunction under planning legislation, that prohibits further residential use of the site in anticipation of a reoccupation of by the evictees who have simply moved to another legal site nearby and are waiting for the contractors, whose work is coming to an end, to leave.

The saga continues….
