Authorities move to remove travellers from Kingshurst parkland

POLICE and council officials have confirmed they’re taking steps to remove a group of travellers who have moved on to Babbs Mill.
It is understood that as many as 20 caravans arrived at the parkland on Friday (September 11.)
Residents are concerned that the vehicles are damaging the grass and that a major clear-up operation may have to follow.
Coun Debbie Evans (UKIP, Kingshurst & Fordbridge) said: “The police sergeant for this area has just contacted me and Monday morning they will be going to court and the travellers will hopefully be gone by the afternoon.
“They are asking for people to be vigilant and take care. They have also assured me that patrols are going to be more frequent until this is resolved.”
The neighbourhood team confirmed they were aware of the encampment and that the process to legally remove the travellers was under way.
