Return his gate and posts to him, don't dispose of it, same goes for his impromptu troughs. You'll probably end up also paying for the skip to remove the rest of his crap. Whatever you do, don't give him an excuse to involve his wider community. Most travellers are fair minded and won't back him up if it's obvious that you have treated him reasonably. The law should be kept in mind, but any attempt to use it against him should be your VERY last resort.

I shall - it’s my nature to be respectful and friendly but I expect the same back so whilst I was genuine in offering help to get stuff moved off my lane and I was also clear that I had plans for the land and wouldn’t be responsible for securing his horses for him to give the message that he has to tow the line and treat me with the same respect. Cheers again

Think I may have to. I’m going to just see if he shows some willingness to clear his shit off the land and my wife (a horsey person) is going to offer to help him rehome the horses which will give us a bit of an idea as to where we are. One of the main things is to basically remove and undo anything he’s done on my land and I’ll take some before and after pics too and in particular remove completely the gate he’s put on the access to my land and encourage him to do whatever he wishes to in order to secure his. lol forward to fencing his horses off my land and repairing the fence when they damage it!! Cheers for the advice
