‘Yellow Caravan Man’ Sets Up at Pentagon Island as Derby Blocks Cockpit Island

Derby City Council reports temporary barriers at Cockpit Island with permanent deterrents under review.

Overview

  • Stephen Bullock, known locally as the Yellow Caravan Man, was seen on Pentagon Island days after his latest removal from Cockpit Island.
  • His collection of items, including a boat, an ATV and a children’s slide, is now displayed on a grassy section of the roundabout.
  • More than a dozen large bags have been placed on Cockpit Island to restrict access, which the council describes as temporary measures.
  • Bullock says he paid hundreds of pounds to recover seized belongings and is urging the council to fund his project or leave him to continue it.
  • He maintains he has helped people with mental health needs, a claim reported from interviews, and Derbyshire Live has requested further comment from the council.
