Travellers - Littledown Centre

I’m afraid we have had another incursion by travellers, this time in the Littledown Centre car park, where they arrived on Friday night.  We have received this update from our parks team this morning:

I am sorry to say that on Friday 18^th June at around 2200 hours we had 10 caravans arrive in the car park at the Littledown leisure centre

Our legal department will push for a court hearing first thing Monday morning

Having spoken to the travellers it is apparent they are going to stay as long as possible

Jane and I are liaising with council officers and have ensured that the normal precautions have been taken over further incursions both at the Littledown Centre and in King’s Park.  We will of course keep you up to date.
