Court summons served on Travellers at Hamworthy Park in Poole - Dorset

From the Bournemouth Echo

OFFICIALS have served a court summons on the Travellers currently occupying Hamworthy Park in Poole.

There are eight caravans and one motorhome at the makeshift site, and Borough of Poole will go back to court this afternoon as part of the legal process to have them removed.

Poole council’s regulatory services manager Peter Haikin said: “If an eviction order is granted, the Travellers will have 24 hours to vacate the site.

“We are continuing to gather the evidence required to start the legal process for the unauthorised encampment at Turlin Moor Recreation Ground. In the meantime we can confirm that one caravan has now left this site.”

This leaves two caravans and one motorhome on the recreation ground car park.
