Police report into illegal traveller camp in Boston says Covid 19 restrictions made it difficult to respond.
The camp was on Woodville Road play park.
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.
