Maidstone: Travellers set up camp in Cumberland Avenue, Shepway
Published: 13:00, 30 August 2017
Travellers have pitched up on playing fields in the middle of a residential estate.
A number of caravans remain at Cumberland Avenue in Shepway, despite being asked to move on earlier this month, when Maidstone Borough Council (MBC) was granted a section 77 order.
A spokesperson for MBC said: “We have attended the site and the unauthorised encampment is still present.
"This is in direct breach of the original court order served.
“We have given a direction for persons to leave the area by 4pm today.”
