Police have this morning broken up an illegal rave near the A38.

The gathering took place in Liverton near the Drumbridges roundabout at a Devon County Council Highways depot where travellers have been living since April. Police removed amplifiers this morning and are currently in negotiations with the people inside the compound .The gated site is used to store highways material and has been hit several times in recent years by travellers setting up camp illegally.

One resident said the party had started at 8.30pm on Friday. ‘I’m just glad they’re finally doing something about it,’ he said. Read the full story in next this week’s Mid-Devon Advertiser, out on Thursday.
