A council has successfully obtained a High Court injunction to halt the excavation of a hillside in the Welsh Valleys by a group of travellers. The court order was issued amid concerns that the removal of large quantities of earth could trigger a disaster similar to the historic Aberfan tragedy. The excavation, intended to create living spaces, has been stopped to prevent potential landslides.
