Dale Farm Evictees Metres Away From Site

Traveller families forced to leave Dale Farm have towed their trailers only a few metres along the lane and parked on the neighbouring legal site.

Now they are waiting to receive notice to move on within 28 days but say they will fight any order in the courts.
"They are all here because they have nowhere else to go," said Candy Sheridan of the Gypsy Council.
"They are homeless and Basildon will make them homeless so we will challenge it."
It is estimated around 35 extra families have packed into the legal site. Others have left and are said to be visiting relatives elsewhere but will return.
Basildon Council has fought to clear the site since it was bought by the travellers 10 years ago but developed without planning permission.
