Traveller incursion Glendowan playing fields, Valley Park - Update
A short update on the travellers who have arrived at the Glendowan Playing Fields in Valley Park.
I was informed of the incursion last night at around 8.45pm and immediately informed Test Valley Borough Council and the Police.
Today TVBC have carried out all the required welfare checks and have served notice on the group to vacate the playing fields. The earliest possible court date has been obtained for the eviction order to be granted, which is next Tuesday.
In my experience, travellers will often move on before the date of the hearing. If not, bailiffs can enforce their moving on once the order is granted.
I hope that helps.
