a gipsy group who exploited human rights laws to stay in their illegal camp for more than five years have won another legal battle to stay - in a fight that has cost taxpayers £ 200,000 .
the 78 irish travellers , who hail from just four families , had refused to budge despite facing three different courts , a planning inquiry and a council [UNK] , lancashire , accused the group of trashing their leafy village - and branded them the ` neighbours from hell ' .
a gipsy group claimed the eviction ` violated ' the human rights of the 39 children living on the site in 60 caravans .
