Gypsies/Travellers settle in on Princes Park, Southport

Around twenty caravans along with sports cars have pitched up on Princes park in Southport. It was reported that the group broke the lock of the gates nearest to Pleasureland last night.

Although faster and more effective enforcement powers have come into force regarding unauthorised Gypsy / traveller’s sites, it still hasn’t stopped a number of travellers setting up camp in Princes Park, Southport.

This was the state of play this morning at 8am this morning (Tuesday 8 August 2017).
