From Your Thurrock
AN order for Travellers to move from Chadwell Hill has been ignored.
As reported on Monday, a group of five caravans moved onto the area of green on Sunday night. Thurrock Council sprung into action and liaised with the Essex County Travellers Unit (ECTU) who issued a Direction to Leave on Monday afternoon.
They were due to leave on Wednesday at 4pm. However, by Thursday morning, not only had not moved but their numbers had swelled considerably.
A spokesperson for Thurrock Council said: “The Direction to Leave was ignored. The council is now taking the court route. A summons was obtained yesterday and was served at 9.30am this morning.
“This requires them to appear at Chelmsford Magistrate Court on Monday 7 April”.
