Barriers installed in Marston Green to deter travellers

HEIGHT restriction barriers have recently been installed at three separate locations in Marston Green, as part of ongoing efforts to stop travellers accessing local sites.
The barriers - which would make it harder for caravans to get onto land - have been put in place at the entrances to Millennium Wood and the Burial Ground, both in Bickenhill Lane, and on the driveway to the village Recreation Ground.
Marston Green and Bickenhill Parish Council decided to install the devices following an incident last summer during which a group of travellers pitched up at Millennium Wood nature reserve.
A parish council spokesman said: "The cost to repair damage to gates and fences when the travellers left was expensive.
"We hope the measures taken will prevent further problems in the future."
