It has been occupied continuously, since June 1982.The site and look of the camp has varied considerably over the years, depending on the number of residents. At one point there were two sites. The camp is well established with planning permission for 12 caravans and it has mains water, conventional toilet, a telephone, hot water. The tenancy was ended when the council borders changed. The council then organised an eviction order but decided not to waste money on a large-scale eviction so they now remain there, technically as squatters.
