I know that when they were camped on the Aldi Car park it took the Aldi management a few days to get an eviction order, this was because they would move just a couple of their vans off the car park(temporarily)...meaning that there were less than 6 vehicles.
It makes it harder for the authorities to act if there are less than 6 vehicles(or that is what I was told).

That's right Margaret, less than 6 vehicles and it becomes more difficult for the police to move them on. We had to go for a court order to move them on from Arden Hall,which obviously takes time. The travellers know the law, but once a court order has been served they usually move on.
