Up to 50 Travellers' families set up impromptu encampment in Grimsby play area

Travellers have chosen a leafy site in Grimsby to park their vehicles

 

A GRIMSBY play area has become home to as many as 50 Travellers' caravans and other vehicles over the Bank Holiday weekend.

The families have pitched up on the field and kiddies' play area at the junction of Cleethorpe Road and Victor Streeet.

Some may have relocated from the car park behind the cinema in Cleethorpes where a few caravans  were parked earlier in the week.

It is thought their arrival is what prompted the closing of some roads and car parks in other parts of Cleethorpes at the start of the weekend.

It is anyone's guess how long they will choose to stay in Grimsby. 

So far, there has been no statement from North East Lincolnshire Council about whether there will be any response to the Grimsby arrival.
