Austin appeared at Bodmin Magistrates Court yesterday and pleaded guilty to not complying with the Enforcement Notice. Magistrates sentenced him to an 18 month conditional discharge and ordered him to pay Council costs of £500.
The Councils Enforcement Group Leader Jon Drew said: “Non-compliance with an Enforcement Notice is a criminal offence and persons who do not comply with these notices can expect to be prosecuted which results in them gaining a criminal record as well as any punishment given by the Court.”

“It's probably because this guy had a fixed address, was there long enough for the enforcement notice to take effect and the long (by that I mean slow) arm of justice to work. Travellers know when to move on and don't normally have fixed addresses.”

“@Oncemore4. We all know why mate. It's because they're above the law and the police are scared of them.”
