This isn’t the first time that eco village residents have been smacked with an eviction notice.

The authority of that agreement–if it was even made–has since been squashed in court. In April 2015, a district judge granted an adjournment after landowner representatives asked for an order for possession of the land, on the grounds of trespassing. Later, the Diggers were denied an appeal at a county court.
