Request

The total cost to recently evict a resident living at Tinkers Corner travellers site in Bosbury and whether these costs will be recouped by the Council.

FURTHER CLARIFICATION:

Cost for the 24th, total outstanding amount of rent and has any of this been recovered or is it being written off.
