 Alleged threat of eviction of Romani and Irish Traveler families. According to the information received, Dale Farm is the largest Romani and Irish Traveler community in England. The settlement with about 1000 residents extends onto land owned by the community. Approximately one third of the Dale Farm community (86 families, approximately 300 people, including 110 children) faced a threat of forced evictions, following the decision of the Basildon District Council on 14 March 2011. Previous decisions of eviction of the Dale Farm community were the subject of an earlier communication (see A/HRC/16/42/Add.1, para 65).
