Caravans set up camp in Kingshurst

TRAVELLERS have once again moved onto land at Babbs Mill Park.
It was reported this afternoon that caravans had set up the unauthorised encampment near the lake, in the latest in a series of incursions at the site. It is understood around a dozen trailers have rolled onto the site.
In a statement at tea-time today (Wednesday), a Solihull Council spokesman said: "The council is working closely with the police and undertaking the necessary legal actions to move them on as quickly as possible.
"To support our evidence gathering it is very important that as many local residents as possible report any anti-social or criminal behaviour to the police by calling 101.
"This helps build a picture of the situation for the court to consider when we present our case to them."
Campaign group Action for Babbs Mill urged local residents "to be vigilant".
