National Avenue traveller encampment

John Fareham and John Abbott have been working with officers and others to remove an illegal traveller encampment behind the former Booker wholesale premises on National Avenue. This may not have been the biggest traveller incursion we have faced, comprising as it does only four vehicles, and it is not on Council land which means it is not our direct responsibility. However we have worked with the office to ensure that the owners of the land on which the travellers are encamped know they are there and we understand that the estate agents representing the landowners have already called bailiffs to move the travellers on some time this weekend.
