Travellers set up camp in Chandos Recreation Ground, Edgware - London

From the Harrow Times

Travellers have set up camp in a park and have been handed an eviction notice to leave.


Two caravans arrived in the car park of Chandos Recreation Ground, in Camrose Avenue, Edgware, on Saturday evening.

Alarmed neighbours alerted Harrow Borough Council to the disturbance and today officers issued handed an evection notice to the travellers to leave within 48 hours.

Leader of the council Susan Hall said: “This has nothing to do with lifestyle choice or background; it is simply a case of where people have got permission to stay.

“Planning laws apply to everyone and it is not fair on residents that any group is allowed to flout them.”

Last year around 20 caravans descended on site of the Kodak Sports Ground, in Harrow View, and were moved on by police.
