Travellers in Beckenham gym car park moved on - London

From the News Shopper

A GROUP of Gypsies who had been living in the car park of a Beckenham health club has moved on.

They were parked at the back of the car park outside the gym where their children were seen playing on scooters and even set up electrical generators to power their homes.

Staff from the club, in Stanhope Grove, told News Shopper on November 23 the gipsies had moved on November 9.

A spokesman for David Lloyd Leisure Group said they had asked the travellers to leave and were taking legal action.

A Bromley police spokesman said: “We were informed by the club that three caravans arrived at 5:47pm on November 4 and the club took action to remove them.

“As it is private property this is a matter for the club and not the police.”
