Yes Nigel, thanks The point I was trying to make was as the travellers arrived at 6.30pm were the barriers locked at 8pm thus locking them in the car park? I don’t suppose they paid to park and if the barriers were locked then I suppose they would have forced them open!
Thanks Nigel for all the good work you and some of the local councillors do. It seems to me that it is the more recently elected councillors who do the leg work whilst the longer serving councillors allow this town to degenerate.

Shepherds Spring Lane carpark is locked at 8pm each night. The travelers arrived at around 6.30pm!!

One assumes that these travellers are not paying for parking and that the barriers are not being used as stated at the entrance to the Shepherd’s Spring Lane car park?!!

Also as one of the wards Councillors I have spoken to the environmental & enforcement teams at TVBC. I have been down there to take a look myself & have spoken to several residents tonight on several issues for this area. Lets hope that there is not to much rubbish to clear up when they move on!
