Travellers set up camp opposite Gloucestershire police HQ - Gloucestershire

From the Gloucester Citizen

Travellers have set up camp opposite Gloucestershire police headquarters.

Three caravans were parked at the former Kodak premises off Davy Way in Waterwells.

Four years ago a larger group of Travellers set up camp nearby off Marconi Way, leaving behind litter and a large scorch mark on the ground from a fire.

The visitors to the former Kodak car park do not appear to have caused public concern but it is understood the landlord is aware of their presence and they will have to move on.

A Gloucestershire police spokeswoman said: "We are aware of the caravans parked on private land in Quedgeley. We have not received any complaints about crime or anti social behaviour."

The owner of a nearby property has taken the proactive step of warning those considering a camp at its car park to think again, warning bailiffs will be called in to evict them.

None of the caravans was occupied this morning.
