Kelvin travellers again

John Fareham and John Abbott report that the Council went to court to remove travellers from their unauthorised encampment on the former William Gee playing fields on Wednesday August 1^st.

John Fareham says, “It was our understanding that the officers will be applying for immediate possession of the site.  Prior discussion of the problem suggested that the Council might seek to have the possession order be sufficiently generous to the Council and to local residents in terms of how long it applied and how wide an area it covered. This is, of course, not the first time travellers have used this site or others nearby in recent years, and we do of course sympathise with those local residents whose residential amenity has been disturbed by the sound of travellers using generators and other machinery.”
