Illegal encampment on Jenny's Wood meadow

On Monday evening, 14th April, travellers forced there way onto Jenny's Wood and over 20 caravans set up camp. After consultation with the Police and Boston Borough Council the Trustees decided to take civil action against them to ensure their swift removal. Bailiffs served them with an eviction order on Tuesday and the bailiffs, supported by police, were on site on Wednesday morning to oversee their departure.

They had all left by lunch time on Wednesday

Some damage was caused at the entrances, and a few trees have been cut down. The meadow looks in a sorry state and we can assume damage to the flora and fauna.

However the mess can be cleared up and due to our prompt action the damage has been limited.

But solicitors and bailiffs come at a price and the bill will be in the thousands which we can ill afford.
