Somerset Council has removed 12 abandoned caravans and rubbish from Watchwell Drove, a country lane near Glastonbury. According to one source, the operation cost £5,500; another puts the figure at more than £5,600. Exact costs have not been disclosed, and the final bill may be higher.
The week-long cleanup was carried out with police assistance. The caravans and waste were destroyed. Since 2021, the council has spent over £72,000 on similar removals.
