Dale Farm: Travellers win injunction delaying eviction
Travellers at the UK's largest illegal travellers site, at Dale Farm, Essex, have won a court injunction delaying their planned eviction.
Residents won the injunction restraining Basildon Council from clearing the site pending a further High Court hearing on Friday.
Earlier bailiffs urged campaigners to stop obstructing the eviction process as they prepared to access the area.
As many as 400 people have been living on 51 unauthorised caravan plots.
Mr Justice Edwards-Stuart granted the injunction at London's High Court on the basis that there was a realistic apprehension that the measures to be taken - while genuinely believed in by the council - "may go further" than the terms of the enforcement notices.
He said: "Having regard to the fact there is no fixed date for starting these - but they are imminent - I do not see that any serious injustice will be caused if the actual implementation of any measures will not take place before the end of this week."
There were cheers inside the Dale Farm site as residents and supporters were told the news.
Resident Mary Slattery said: "We are delighted. Every day is a bonus. We've got one last chance and we're not going to give up - this gives us so much hope."
There was a party-like atmosphere as music began to play and travellers taunted bailiffs from the barricades, singing: "We're not going to go."

Basildon Council = Lying toads!

Kind of sums up the current environment we live in quite perfectly.
The council have got their warrant and have used it to exact their own personal agenda's. They aren't really interested in enforcing planning law, what they really want is to clear the entire site of travellers, even those who actually own that land by legal purchase and deed. I'm astonished to find that the number of travellers living on that land legally is far higher then the council and their 'supporters' have alluded to!
What we have here is the law being used by imbeciles to exact their own racial and ethnic perversions. No wonder the judge has stalled it. The law is not supposed to be used in this way. Throughout, Basildon Council have claimed the moral high grownd by claiming they represent the law abiding masses but in reality, have simply exploited the law in corruption to their own agenda's. How typical for this council.
This sums up everything that is bad in the world we live in.
Me.
