00:00It has been an extremely lengthy process. I appreciate that. It's been going on for two,
00:04three years. The problem behind that was we obviously had to get all the legal information
00:10together. We've had a lot of help from both MEPM and particularly Vico Parish Council
00:16and the residents around the site collecting that information so that we had full details
00:21we could go to court with. We took the land user to court and got a court order requiring the
00:30removal of all the debris, all the site and reinstatement, which he then failed to deal with.
00:36So he then subsequently had to do a prison term, which we fully supported. And again,
00:44it still failed to do anything with the site. So with further legal information, advice and backup
00:49from residents and Vico Parish Council, we've been able to go back to court to seek possession
00:56so that we can then enforce the remedial action on site.
