For five heady summer days a year, it is a Mecca for the greatest bands on the planet. But the rest of the year, Glastonbury is now being terrorised by 'hippy thugs' who strip off to cavort in front of horrified locals and defecate in public. Angry residents of the Somerset town made famous by the annual Glastonbury music festival, which attracts hundreds of thousands of ravers, say they are sick and tired of the scores of hippies who spend the rest of the year in ugly caravans lined up in the streets.
In horrifying scenes, they even say that their once-picturesque home is now plagued with people defecating outside their homes and rolling naked in the fields. They accuse the police of ignoring their demands to move them on and have now 'given up' on the law. MailOnline discovered several dozen grubby and battered caravans occupied by an army of unwashed itinerants around the once-tranquil town.
Row upon row of the wrecked caravans were parked up in and around Glastonbury, to the fury of local residents.

Although they do not own it or have any legal right to accommodate, they have decked out the huge property's three floors with second hand furniture, sofas, clothes rails and even a giant disco ball.
Swathes of caravans surround the historic building. The local council is currently taking steps to evict them, with Somerset Council issuing enforcement notices to the owner ordering him to return it to its original state. In.
