In Redcar, Cleveland, an unauthorised encampment has been discovered at Kirkleatham Showground, with several caravans, campers, and a car. This is the second such incident this week, following a camp on Redcar Athletic's football pitches that led to match cancellations.
Redcar and Cleveland Borough Council confirmed that an officer will visit the site to begin eviction proceedings, with police liaising with the council. Local authorities state they are acting in line with procedures for unauthorised encampments and preparing legal notices, emphasising that actions are taken at taxpayers' expense.
