Unauthorised traveller camps in Colchester and Felixstowe

A group of travellers has arrived at Gosford Way Park in Felixstowe, Suffolk, with at least two caravans and accompanying vehicles on town council-owned land. Felixstowe Town Council has formally notified the Norfolk and Suffolk Gypsy Roma and Traveller Service, which will conduct an assessment to determine next steps. East Suffolk Council has also been alerted, and Suffolk police are monitoring the situation. Similar unauthorised encampments occurred in Felixstowe in 2023 and 2021.

How a regional town became a caravan community

After the Longwood fire in Ruffy, Australia, dozens of residents lost their homes and now live in caravans. The fire destroyed 41 dwellings and 92 structures. Residents like Rio Crupi and Rob and Bron Jamieson expect to rebuild over one to two years due to a shortage of builders. Authorities have provided over $420 million in support, but the community says more is needed.

1966 motorhome with Mini garage and recording studio

In 1966, British coachbuilder Harold Radford Coachbuilders built the Transcontinental Carabus Mk2 motorhome for steel magnate Philip Lee, based on an AEC Reliance bus. The 11-metre vehicle featured a hydraulic lift for a Mini Cooper S, a recording studio, two toilets, a roof-access lift, and a kitchen with a dishwasher. The project cost £25,000 (over €700,000 in today's money). DVLA records show the motorhome was scrapped decades ago; the Mini's last registration was in 1985.
