Meriden Gypsy protest eviction decision put on ice

A DECISION to force residents who set up a protest camp after Gypsies moved onto nearby green belt land to leave has been deferred.

Solihull Borough Council have given members of Residents Against Inappropriate Development or RAID until January 16 to write to them with a programme for voluntary withdrawal.

The group said they are happy to go as long as it ties in with the removal of the Gypsies from their illegal camp.

Some 200 villagers have been maintaining an ‘all weathers’ 24-hour vigil for exactly 600 days in the entrance to a builder’s yard on Eaves Green Lane, Meriden, to monitor the Travellers and protest against the site which was set up in May 2010.
