Travellers set up camp at disused Dundee factory

From the Courier

Travellers have set up an illicit camp within a disused Dundee factory.

Several caravans have been pitched at the Wester Gourdie Industrial Estate site for nine days, and more arrived before last weekend.

A nearby resident said he saw them enter the grounds of the Sella Furniture Group factory on Friday.

A police spokesman said: “Tayside Division is aware that Travelling people have created an encampment in the Wester Gourdie Industrial Estate in Dundee over recent days.

“We are working with the city council and the Travellers liaison officer in particular, in accordance with established national guidelines, with a view to resolving the matter.”
