Travellers in Woods

A group of travellers drove into the Common’s main woodland yesterday (Sunday) churning up a track of grassland where they entered and dumping truckloads of household and other waste in and around the woods. A council official in attendance on Monday morning was about to instigate the process for their removal. The waste, however, is almost certainly going to have to be removed at the Council’s expense. UPDATE – the travellers moved on later on Monday, leaving the waste behind them. Clearance of the waste should start by the end of the week.
