Travellers putting people off park

The travellers are parked up near Wigmore Church

The travellers are parked up near Wigmore Church

Residents in Wigmore say they are fed up with travellers who have been camped in a park for over a week.

Families in more than 20 vehicles have made their home in the park behind Wigmore Church, between Crawley Green Road and Colwell Rise.

One resident who contacted the Luton News said: “I’ve been in touch with the council, they said they were aware of it but I was told last week that they would be off by the weekend, and they’re still there.

“The travellers tore through the metal barriers, so surely that’s criminal damage?
“One of them has been going round on a quad bike and they’ve been skidding around in their cars.

“People like walking their dogs over there and children play in the park but you daren’t go over there at the moment.

“Everyone’s so annoyed.”
