Are you shaw that’s Wilderdpool Causeway park? It doesn’t look like it from the photo.
The photo is for illustration purposes only of a previous travellers camp
Saw 3 large van with caravans cut across the traffic at st james church then mount the kerb and drive across the grass in front of the flats on bevan island with total disregard then continue on to the field behind so once again our council will be left to clear up the mess
You had me worried again as that’s Bruche park
I saw them there a couple of hours ago but there looked more vans than are shown in the photo, I counted about 10 all very nice and expensive looking vans and vehicles. You can see the tyre tracks where some of them must have gone straight over the grass verge from Brian Bevan island and then along the bottom through the gated field entrance,
I feel sorry for the residents as they are virtually camped at the bottom of their gardens.
With 24 hours notice to leave I wonder where they will go next…..
Take their vehicles off them. They will not have insurance or road fund. Failing that block them in
No progress yet on allocating a permanent transit site?
they have also turned up on sankey valley at the waterways car park.
So much for 24hrs notice to vacate as they are still at the bottom of Manx Road and Old River Road.
