In the middle of January I had a busy week liasing between local businesses and parish councils, South Cambs planning enforcement officers and the district's legal team, and Andrew Lansley's office.The reason: a couple of fields in the area need to be closely watched to make sure that they don't - overnight - become illegally occupied by travellers. It would be wrong for all sorts of reasons to have people living on the edge of a major road with no facilities, bypassing all planning rules, and south cambs has done a lot to provide proper traveller sites.
The aim was to ensure we could get a High Court injunction, backed by all levels of democracy ie parish, district, MP, having done the prep work very quickly as needs be. Let's hope it doesn't come to that.
