Dale Farm Travellers win further eviction reprieve

RESIDENTS of Dale Farm were last night celebrating another reprieve that has raised their hopes that they can remain living on Britain’s biggest illegal Travellers’ site.

A High Court judge granted scores of Irish families an extension to an injunction stopping their evictions until the courts have finally ruled on the legality of their proposed removal from the site near Basildon, Essex.

Two further hearings are planned. The first will be on Thursday and concerns the latest traveller application for judicial review.
