A GROUP of travellers who have set up camp at Lambley Lane Recreation Ground this week have been served with a court order to leave.
An ‘Order for Possession’ from Nottingham County Court dated today, 29 June 2012, has been attached to the gates of the playing field close to the travellers’ camp. It orders ‘persons unknown’ to leave the property to the north west of Lambley Lane on or before 29 June 2012 (ie, also today).
A notice to the defendant included in the court order warns that failure to comply means that the claimant, Gedling Borough Council, can “ask the court, without further hearing, to authorise a bailiff or High Court Enforcement Officer to evict you”.
The travellers appeared on the field this week, prompting one dumbles.co.uk reader to write to ask whether the gates had been forced open or left unlocked.
When visiting the site this afternoon to inspect the court notice, our reporter was challenged by three men in a Transit pick-up. They at first denied being part of the group camped on the land, and then asked if we had any trees that needed trimming, before driving into the camp.
