They broke in Yesterday morning about 10am. The rubbish and the fly tipping has already started and a large amount of hard core has been dumped at the edge of the gated area with a further pile. I have come down this morning to take some pictures. The only way I ‘m going resolve this is by going to court The travellers, some 30 vans, claim that there are not enough sites for them to stop over at. They claim that they are only going on here for a couple of days. They (The Travellers) have broken off locks and put their own padlocks on and have also damaged a metal gate to gain access. Two small dogs stand guard barking when anyone drives to alert the travellers. https:///www.youtube.com/watch?v=V49nCrx9_TI
