In Leominster, Herefordshire, the aftermath of a recent eviction of travellers has led to a concerning situation where the site is now overwhelmed with waste, leaving locals shocked at what they term a 'war zone'. Drone imagery has revealed distressing scenes of discarded rubbish, including a burnt-out caravan, broken toys, and stained mattresses, which have transformed the once lively area into an eyesore.

The legal battle leading up to the eviction was lengthy, highlighting the tension between the council and the travelling community. Despite the council's efforts to manage the situation, the aftermath shows that the issues surrounding land use and community relations remain unresolved. The area, located beside the A44, has become a focal point for discussions on waste management and the rights of travellers.

Local resident and photographer Dan Jones expressed his surprise at the extent of the neglect, emphasizing that most travellers in the region behave well and do not contribute to such issues. This situation raises pressing questions about how evictions are handled and the responsibilities of local authorities in ensuring that areas are not only cleared of tenants but also restored to a clean and public-friendly state.
