Anti traveller bollards have been installed on Preston New Road.
A stretch of land near to the former funeral directors is now protected by a row of bollards which OTS News understands has been put up to stop travellers.
In the past the field has been overrun with caravans and cars when travellers set up home there.

Now if anyone breaks down the bollards they will be commuting a criminal act and can be immediately cautioned or arrested by the police.
This is hoped to deter any travellers who want to set up camp.
