A GYPSY has described how he is the King of his own tiny castle after moving into a double-decker bus and converting it into a "luxury'" palace for FREE.<\/p>\n

Neil Wainwright, 61, from Falmouth, Cornwall, said he felt "imprisoned" in his council house – and preferred to live in the bus parked outside in Glasney Road.<\/p>\n


\n<\/p>\n

The self-described gypsy grew up living in caravans and said that he felt more comfortable in the bus.<\/p>\n

His bus is kitted out with its own shower, toilet and kitchen and he absolutely loves it.<\/p>\n

He told the Sun: "Life is great on the bus, I love it. I live like a king, everything in here looks really expensive but I've made it out of things I've found.\u00a0<\/p>\n

"I want to show people you don't need loads of\u00a0money\u00a0to live well.\u00a0<\/p>\n

I'm a gypsy living for free in a double-decker BUS with its own toilet &amp; kitchen<\/h3>\n

<\/picture>OFF-GRID LIVING <\/span><\/p>\n

I live in a converted bus – it looks tiny, but it's not, plus I'm debt-free<\/h3>\n

"I'm a gypsy. My name's Wainwright. It means wagon maker and I've lived in wagons all my life."<\/p>\n

Residents have been campaigning to get the big red bus moved from their residential street since it parked up there in 2019.<\/p>\n

Now four years later, the bus has finally towed away – and taken to County Hall in Truro.<\/p>\n

Neil said: "I\u00a0think I'm likely to be here for 10 years before they find me a suitable site and I would happily give up my council house and somebody else can live there but they need to get me a 10-metre shipping container here and\u00a0transport\u00a0my things up.\u00a0<\/p>\n

"The council has done everything possible to stop me living in a wagon so me getting here is like winning the lottery."<\/p>\n

Local residents had long complained that the bus was a health and safety issue, and that they felt "intimidated" by Neil.<\/p>\n

Announcing the news on her Facebook page, local Councillor Jayne Kirkham apologised that it had taken so long.<\/p>\n

She said: "The Glasney bus has gone!! Finally. After a lot of sorting by an awful lot of people and this pushy councillor.<\/p>\n

"Sorry it took so long to resolve a situation that was very difficult for everyone involved."<\/p>\n

Local residents became concerned about the bus after it was revealed that Neil had been powering it using an extension cable leading from his home's letter box.<\/p>\n

Technicians from Western Power later visited the bus and concluded that they could not remove the power connection as it was "not illegal".<\/p>\n

Councillor Kirkham added that Neil had now been moved to a "safe place" where he "had access to services".<\/p>\n

Speaking previously, Neil said: "I want to live in my wagon, I don't want to live in a house. Five years I have been imprisoned in a house."<\/p>\n

"Our priority is to provide a place of safety, balancing the needs of the individual and local community."<\/p>\n
