Travellers move on.

The group of travellers who have been on Chilton Airfield for several weeks have now moved on.

A court order for eviction was, as expected, obtained on Tuesday and they left yesterday evening.  Suffolk County Council officers and the Cabinet Member responsible for minority groups pushed the process through with determination, ultimately with a some support from the police.

Suffolk County Council is taking some steps to try to prevent future encroachments on the land.

I understand that the travellers have gone to land near the village hall in Newton, so not very far away.

So the merry go round starts again.
