TRAVELLERS SEEM IN NO HURRY TO LEAVE CLEETHORPES PARK

Haverstoe Park at 9.30am today

A group of  Travellers who set up camp in a Cleethorpes park late last month have decided to stay put for the time being.

North East Lincolnshire Council has so fair failed to persuade the dozen or so families to vacate Haverstoe Park.

The problem is partly of the authority's making - after two decades, it has still failed in its duty to provide a designated for the travelling community.

One concern is that the grassy amenity area where the vehicles are parked may be churned to mud following recent heavy rain.

It is thought the families might move on for this Friday's Brigg Fair - a favourite meeting for  Travellers.

Haverstoe ward's three councillors - Keith Brookes, Margaret Cracknell and Bill Parkinson - are being kept updated on the situation.
