I wonder if they've all paid for parking tickets! I doubt the council will be issuing fines to them for illegal parking like they do to the rest of us law abiding people.

Same way as they always have to deal with them Nick - go to court and get an order for them to move on - at some considerable cost I might add.
It's outrageous really. Why you should need an order to remove someone from somewhere they shouldn't be is about as typical a British foible as you could find!

I visited yesterday, and while they seemed to be keeping themselves to themselves, no one can excuse the amount of rubbish I saw dumped in the undergrowth besides the path behind the vans. :(

Just a heads up. The car park at the Flash is now a temporary traveller's site with at least 20 vans on tonight, they'd blocked the entrance with vehicles so it was impossible to get on. Why one section of society is allowed to live completely outside the law is beyond me.
