Judges ruled that local officials must set up more water stations and toilets for the 6,000 residents waiting to stowaway to Britain. They also demanded new rubbish collection sites and the squatter camp be regularly cleaned with the threat of daily fines if the order is not put into action.

The human rights ruling provoked anger among campaigners who fear it will become a greater magnet for migrants trying to reach the UK. It comes just weeks after French interior minister Bernard Cazeneuve ordered heated tents for women and children in Calais in preparation for the freezing winter conditions. Steven Woolfe, Ukip migration spokesman said: “This court decision sends the wrong message to the thousands of migrants heading towards The Jungle camp from the Balkans, the population of which I predict will reach 10,000 plus early in the New Year.

“Tinkering with existing facilities in Calais is not going to stop a deteriorating situation becoming a humanitarian crisis. As winter approaches the French authorities have to make some tough decisions.” Mr Woolfe said the Calais migrant crisis could be quelled if the Italian government stopped migrants leaving the country illegally and the French settled those already in northern France. The controversial ruling came from judges in Lille on Monday who found that the current state of the so-called “New Jungle” in Calais was not good enough.

Their order, which will cost thousand of pounds to implement, included the creation of 10 new fresh water stations - with five taps each - 50 new toilets, more “access points” for emergency vehicles, and more waste disposal points. The population of the virtual shanty town has already doubled to more than 6000 over the past few weeks, as wouldbe asylum seekers arrive from all over the world. The administrative court called for immediate action to prevent “serious human rights violations” highlighted by aid groups working with the migrants.
