Downs vans latest
Martin Evans/BBCFriday: Bristol City Council’s housing committee will be meeting at the end of the week to discuss the latest on van dwellers on the Clifton Downs.
The issue has become increasingly controversial, and the van dwellers have been accused of causing a public nuisance through fly-tipping, poor parking and noise.
Recently, the council said it needed to take action after makeshift toilets were found in some of the wooded areas around the Downs.
The latest meeting will see councillors discuss the planned new Vehicle Dweller Policy, which could enable enforcement action for permanent camps.
