Cricket Pitch Under Siege
Description
A village cricket ground in Clayton became ground zero for an unauthorized encampment—15 caravans and motorhomes, two parked right on the wicket. Litter and damage sparked outrage, but this isn’t an isolated case. Across rural England, fields are being rapidly developed over weekends and holidays, often before councils can respond. Heavy machinery, tarmac, and mobile homes are turning green spaces into temporary settlements, with legal injunctions already needed in Cambridgeshire. Authorities are scrambling to respond, while locals fear the pitch won’t be salvageable for summer fixtures.
