Action to move on Travellers - Worcestershire

From the Redditch Standard

ACTION has been taken to move on Travellers staying on land at the back of the Abbey Stadium.


The group moved into the area on Monday evening (September 23) but court proceedings have been started by landowners Redditch Borough Council.

A spokeswoman for the council said a total of 18 transit pitches, which can be used by Travellers, have been earmarked for the borough in the Local Plan - which sets out future development in the town before 2030 - based on a report done in 2008.

"These will be updated and exact transit pitch locations determined once the local plan has been accepted."

A West Mercia Police spokesman confirmed the police had been informed and attended the site on Monday.

"We are monitoring the site and liaising with the landowners."
