Dale Farm: Control Base Set Up For Travellers' Eviction

Basildon Council Prepare to Evict Dale Far Residents
|

Preparations are being made at the UK's largest illegal travellers' site ahead of next week's planned eviction.

Basildon Council is due to clear families living on 80 illegal plots on Dale Farm, at Cray's Hill, from Monday.

Contractors are building an access road to the Essex site, on the spot where Shetland ponies had been grazing just 24 hours earlier.
