Council vehicles block more travellers from entering Gosport field
Police attended
Council vehicles have blocked more travellers from entering a Gosport field after a couple of vehicles turned up this afternoon.
Police and Gosport Borough Council vehicles were spotted at the scene off Grange Lane in Rowner around 4pm after travellers gained access to the space.
Reform UK Gosport, in a Facebook post, said: “Travellers have arrived in Gosport. Council vehicles are arriving now to prevent further travellers arriving and police are on scene at Grange Lane fields next to the school in Rowner.
“Access to the field and other areas of the borough are too easy for vehicles to gain entry. Cllrs Paul Carter and Paul Jacobs have been asking the council as far back as September last year along with the conservatives more recently to put measures in place to protect our open spaces, yet we are still waiting for action. “
Police said: “This was reported at 4.17pm today and we will discuss next steps with the landowner.”
