Travellers trash mobile toilets given to them by council after settling in Leeds' 'most desirable village'

Travellers are believed to have trashed mobile toilets given to them by Leeds City Council following complaints they were using hedges when they needed to "do their business".

An angry resident has labelled the scenes as "an absolute terrible fiasco". He also called the council a “joke” as the authority has spent money to accommodate the travellers and not set up adequate deterrents to keep them off the land.

The travellers have camped out on Red Hall Playing Field, close to Shadwell and Scarcroft. Reports suggest the same group has been there multiple times and each time have been ejected by the council.
