Council start eviction process after Travellers gain access to Pope's Meadow, Luton - Bedfordshire

From Bedford On Sunday

THE authority has begun proceedings to remove a Traveller encampment from Pope's Meadow in Luton.


It is believed that the group of around 15 caravans got on to the site on Thursday evening.

A resident who lives nearby said to us: "It has been a lovely weekend and we would have liked to have gone over to Pope's Meadow but we feel a bit intimidated.

"I don't know how they managed to get on to the green space as there are barriers."

A spokesman from the council said: "We immediately started the eviction process after we were informed of the encampments.

"We have already received the relevant clearances and are hopeful of achieving eviction by the end of the week."
