“From my conversation with the Police, they are fully aware of the urgency of the situation and have now issued two Section 61 Notices. With Cllr Tony Hedley in attendance, the first has been issued at Hannakins Farm with the travellers being given just one hour to leave. The second has been issued against the travellers in Radford Crescent with notice also to leave this morning.”
