Gipsies camp opposite Tessa Jowell's home

Spookily enough, I drove right past there yesterday on my way back from Stratford. It's a road I travel fairly frequently and I remember thinking "that's new" and "what an odd place for a caravan park".

Mind you, some of the caravans were real deluxe jobs and looked brand new.

What I want to know is how they got the water and electricity services connected to the site over an Easter weekend.

Everybody needs somewhere to live!

Must send them a link for tpdville

If it's a properly spec'd one you won't need to have it emptied very often - if there's enough land you can install a 'soak-away' so the purified effluent soaks away into the subsoil through a 'herringbone' network of pipes.

The place actually looked very neat and tidy. I wonder if it will last.
