Rude awakening - Demolition crew flattens 20 squatter houses in Cooper’s Pen; remaining families uneasy

When the hours-long exercise, carried out under the watchful eyes of a bailiff and a strong police contingent, ended, 20 predominantly concrete houses lay in ruins as their bewildered owners looked on in disbelief.
