A group of travellers have won a landmark court case to stay at a park-and-ride site after a judge ruled a council was wrong to try and evict them.

Medway Council, in Kent, had tried to turf out the Romani Gypsy families who had set up home at the Wigmore Coach Park, off the M2.

A court heard earlier this year how the group of 15 adults and 14 children were moved to the location by the local authority in the summer of 2023.

They had been granted permission to stay at the site for three months if they paid a monthly fee and stuck to certain rules.

But in October, they were handed an eviction notice, with the council saying they planned to sell the land in the near future.
