Lincolnshire Police says Covid 19 restrictions led to what's being called a “failed” response to an illegal traveller camp at Woodville Road play park in Boston.

Bosses say at least a tenth of the force would have been needed to deal with a potential 'large disorder' at the site earlier this year.

Many would then have had to self-isolate for up to 2 weeks.

A 20-thousand pound fence will now be built to deter future incidents.
