Playing field blocked off to travellers

John Fareham and John Abbott have secured the placing of two large concrete cylinders in front of the entrance to the former William Gee site as an obstacle to travellers who may wish to get on there in the future.

We have made this attempt at effective traveller-proofing of open land in the city after it became obvious to us and the officers that plain, bog-standard locks and chains were neither use nor ornament in stopping people with certain readily available tools. It has taken a good deal of effort to ensure that these obstacles were put in place quickly but it is clear officers took us seriously when we said local residents had had enough of travellers and that a proper solution needed to be put in place to keep them off.
