Travellers told to leave Carn Brea car park - Cornwall

From the West Briton

A GROUP of Irish Travellers have been given notice to leave the car park at Carn Brea Leisure Centre.


They arrived in the Pool area after being ordered off the former Richard Lander School site in Truro, where they had been for a fortnight.

Ten caravans arrived at Carn Brea on Friday, followed by six more on Saturday.

The leisure centre site is owned by Cornwall Council and leased by Carn Brea Leisure Centre Trust. Steps have been taken to move them on.

A spokesman said: "Cornwall Council, along with Carn Brea Leisure Centre Trust, are aware of the unauthorised encampment ... of Irish heritage Travellers.

"Carn Brea Leisure Centre have issued the travellers with a notice to move and are working with the council and the police to ensure the group move on as soon as possible."
