Traveller camp pitches up in B&M car park

A traveller camp pitched up in Clevedon's B&M car park.

The group is understood to have moved onto the budget retailer's Great Western Road site yesterday evening (July 28).

Our photographer said there were 15 to 20 caravans parked in the car park this morning.

Following publication of this article, this afternoon a B&M spokeswoman said the group had left.

It comes after around 15 caravans and some other vehicles moved onto Gordano School playing fields at Clapton Lane, Portishead, on July 22.

That group left the sports fields on July 26, after being issued with a direction to leave, and a clean-up operation then took place.

A traveller camp was also seen on fields in Portbury earlier this month

And earlier this year, travellers parked on Hutton Moor Leisure Centre, Clarence Park and Weston Airfield in Weston-super-Mare.

North Somerset does not have any transient sites to which travellers can be moved.

It does have permanent pitches in Weston-super-Mare – the Willowmead site and the Old Junction Yard.
