After travellers broke into a Leeds playing field, seemingly trashed portaloos and left a mess, it has cost around £1,900 for the clean up alone.
Leeds City Council was called a "joke" after failing to provide an adequate barrier and/or deterrent to stop travellers from targeting Red Hall Playing Fields, near Shadwell and Scarcroft, which has seen multiple illegal camps. An angry resident called it an "an absolute terrible fiasco".
The travellers eventually left the site on Monday, August 29, after camping there for about a week and half. The wooden barrier was seen sawn through and chucked on the ground.
