Travellers set up camp in Beggarwood - Hampshire

From the Basingstoke Gazette

TRAVELLERS who were removed from an encampment in Chineham last week have now relocated to Beggarwood.


Police used powers under the Road Traffic Act to move on the travellers from Hanmore Road, opposite Busy Bee’s nursery, following complaints from members of the public about mess and nuisance in the area.

The encampment was also causing an obstruction to the highway.

The group arrived on April 16 and were moved on by police on Friday, April 26.

But the caravans have now set up camp in Shortwood Copse Lane.

Hampshire Constabulary said it was aware of the encampment and officers are visiting the site to assess the situation.
