After the group of gypsies were issued eviction notices by West #Sussex #County #Council, the flock left voluntarily.

Clean-up teams from #Worthing Borough Council arrived soon after the flock had left the trash scene, and it took 20 members of staff 2 hours to clear the area from debris, said a council spokesman.

Six lorryloads of litter was removed from the area, the trash included rubble, green waste, gas bottles, and other waste.

A sweeper had to be dispatched on the grass, a favoured area for families, to rid all the broken glass, and cigarettes.

The estimated total cost of the clear up is £1, 300, said a council spokesman.

All Gypsies, and #Travellers have rights under the Human Rights Act, 1998. Romany Gypsies, and #Irish Travellers also have anti-discrimination rights under the Equality Act, 2010.

The gypsies managed to avoid legal action for fly-tipping, and littering the Goring Gap.
