Bonjour - Travellers from France set up camp in Swansea - Glamorgan

From the South Wales Evening Post

A GROUP of Travellers, believed to hail from France, have set up camp in Swansea.

The group are at the recreation ground, St Helen’s, Brynmill.

Ward councillor John Bayliss said Swansea Council representatives had spoken to the group, and that they planned to leave on Friday.

Failure to do so, the Post understands, would trigger legal action to remove them.

“They have been told to leave the area in a clean manner,” added Mr Bayliss.

The council remains in the process of finding a second, authorised Travellers’ site in Swansea. The five short-listed sites are: the former greyhound stadium (Cockett); the rear of Parc Melyn Mynach (Gorseinon); proposed cemetery (Gorseinon); Swansea Vale (Llansamlet); and Milford Way (Penderry).
