BAILIFFS demolished the remains of an illegally-built traveller home more than two years after the botched first attempt.
A heavy digger this morning smashed up an empty building and ripped up hardstanding at the home called Dunroamin in Hovefields Drive Wickford.

The council started demolishing Dunroamin in October 2006, but a paperwork blunder meant not all the buildings, including a toilet block could legally be removed.
