Good news :) Just in from the High Court......

 

 

A High Court judge has ruled that a council can carry out evictions on illegal plots at the UK's largest traveller site in Essex.

 

Bailiffs were prevented from entering Dale Farm in July after residents won the chance of a High Court challenge.

 

It has been refused by a judge, who said it was "astonishing" that residents delayed in their legal bid to almost the day of eviction.

Basildon council has been attempting to remove travellers for a decade.

 

The site is on green belt land and is thought to currently house about 400 people on the pitches.

 

The clearance of the six-acre site was halted on 4 July when lawyers for the travellers obtained a High Court injunction preventing bailiffs moving in while the courts were asked to rule on several areas of contention.

 

The Court of Appeal previously ruled against the travellers on a human rights application in 2009.
