The planned Dale Farm eviction is delayed

  • Published

The planned eviction of travellers at Dale Farm in Essex has been delayed.

The site is home to hundreds of people and their families, but some are living there illegally.

They were meant to be forced to leave on Monday but the local council has now given them until Friday, when they will have the chance to argue their case in court.

Meanwhile they've been told they must let council officials onto the farm so that they can talk to families and take down barriers.

There were cheers inside the Dale Farm site as residents and supporters were told the news.

Ore went to the site a few hours before the delay was announced to meet some of the kids who live there.
