From the Daily Echo

FOLLOWING complaints from residents, Travellers at Fleetsbridge, Poole, have been asked to move a caravan further away from a back garden.

Resident Paula Holloway of Christopher Crescent had complained that one van, on land next to Staples car park, was parked right up against an elderly neighbour’s garden.

Peter Haikin, Borough of Poole regulatory services manager said: “Officers have made further visits to this unauthorised encampment and are satisfied that the site is being kept clean and tidy, and that the group are making use of the temporary toilets provided.”

To date, Borough of Poole has not instigated court action to have the two encampments removed.
