Travellers on Kelvin playing fields

John Fareham and John Abbott worked to remove the unauthorised traveller incursion on the site of the future Kelvin Hall School playing fields.

The travellers began arriving early in the evening of Tuesday July 17^th and, whilst there was some doubt as to whether they used force to gain access to the site, there was no doubt in our minds or those of local residents, especially those subject to noise nuisance from generators, as to whether they should still have been there. We therefore got in touch with various officers of the Council to urge them to carry out such actions as would enable eviction proceedings to go to court with a good chance of success by all means but to do them as expeditiously as they can and to move these travellers on as soon as the law would allow.
