A FAMILY of gipsies has spoken of a six-year battle to stay on the site they have made their home after a last-ditch application was thrown out by council planners.

Kathleen and Jack Price and their six children live in two mobile homes on land off Dark Lane, Calow, alongside another gipsy family of seven.

They bought the land in 2003 and have since been involved in a battle with NE Derbyshire District Council planning chiefs for permission to keep their four caravans at the site.

China woman loses fight for home

A well-known Chinese activist has lost her six-year battle to save her traditional-style Beijing home from demolition.

Workers have torn down what remains of Ni Yulan's courtyard house, although she was not personally there to see it.

The former lawyer is in a detention centre awaiting trial on charges linked to the destruction of her home.

Her husband, Dong Jiqin, says the demolition was illegal, although it was approved by the local court.
