Council use tractor to kick up dust and force traveller caravans out

The field in Gosport, Hampshire, which is near a school, sees travellers return each year, according to a resident. Taking action, the local council sent out a tractor to mow the bone-dry lawn, which was seen driving close to where a caravan and a tent were pitched up. However, it actually just kicked up a large cloud of dust and sent it flying around the encampment. Further photographs show council trucks lined up at the Grange Lane Fields edge, creating a ‘ring of steel’ with the intention of preventing additional arrivals.
