TRAVELLERS will be guarding Dale Farm against bailiffs on Monday after a High Court judge granted an injunction against Basildon Council removing a controversial community centre.
They are prepared to hand bailiffs a copy of the injunction agreed at an emergency session of the London court late yesterday evening.
Council bosses have given them until midnight tomorrow to remove the log cabin known as St Christopher’s or face its forced removal. The interim injunction means no council action can take place before their judical review application is heard in court next week.
Campaigner Grattan Puxon said: “This protects the centre until the hearing, but we are on standy in case the council has already commissioned the bailiffs before the weekend.”
Tony Ball, deputy council leader, said: “Yet again our hands are tied by the court, which has circumvented our decision."
