Fury after travellers leave illegal camp looking like “war zone”

Drone footage reveals a former travellers’ camp near the A44 in Leominster, Herefordshire, is littered with tonnes of rubbish, burnt vehicles, dirty mattresses and broken toys, months after the evacuation. Local people describe the 1-acre area as a “war zone” and demand that the authorities take action. The illegal camp, dubbed the “Backyard campsite” online, was the subject of a bitter legal battle and municipal eviction last year; Cleaning up the waste was now the responsibility of the municipality.
