If the person who bulldozed this ‘historic dyke’ owns the property, and if no easements/rights of way to protect the ‘dyke’ were in place when he purchased the property, then he was well within his rights to do whatever he wanted to on his land - the fact that he might be a traveller’ doesn’t enter in to it.

Except for that pesky little law against it.

Dykes are protected by law. If you buy the property, you know that.

Read all the article :

It is a criminal offense to disrupt or damage the dyke, which is designated a ‘scheduled ancient monument’ because of its historical significance. Anyone caught doing so can be punished with six months in jail or a £5,000 fine.

Which is exactly it. The article says landOWNER, so if they own it, they have every right to raze it to the ground.

If everyone was so concerned about preservation, they should have bought it themselves and preserved it.

THAT said....... if he doesn't own the land?

Hang him.

Good to hear from a GENIUS EXPERT on British law!
