FLYNN:VICTORY FOR TRAVELLERS IN FIGHT AGAINST EVICTION - Essex

From Court News UK

BASILDON, ESSEX A group of Travellers today (Thurs) scored a victory in their fight against eviction from a rat-infested strip of land opposite the infamous Dale Farm plot. Around 20 families, led by Mary Flynn, 77, sought a judicial review to stop Basildon Council kicking them off Oak Lane, London's High Court heard. Although the track is said to be polluted by sewage, the Travellers refuse to live in conventional housing. Mrs Flynn also suffers from extremely poor health, which makes moving impossible.
