Former residents of Dale Farm to ask judge for 'suitable' rehousing

Travellers made homeless after being evicted from an illegal site in the UK are set to ask senior judges to rule that they have a right to be re-homed in caravans or offered pitches.

John Sheridan, Barbara O'Brien and Mary Flynn - who were living on the Dale Farm site near Basildon, Essex - are scheduled to seek a ruling from the British Court of Appeal in London next month.
