Peter T Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 At the junction of Lumb brook Rd and Witherwin Av.(on the way to the Thorn)the old road that cuts the corner off this junction is full of Gypsies/travellers. This is a cycle/pedestrian way. No idea how people are supposed to get through. Even more surprising is how they got their vehicles in there as I thought that vehicles couldn't access it.

Dizzy Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 Where there's a will there's always a way Peter. Not sure exactly where you mean though. Do you mean (1) as you go up Lumb Brook and turn left into Witherin towards the island or (2) after the island where Witherwin continues at the 2nd Junction and Lumb Brook continues at the 3rd ? Only reason for asking is that the field near where you turn left off (1) LB to W was home to a couple of rather lovely travellers horses last time we went up there as a lady was feeding them carrots and said she always did and told us they had been there for a while. I'm not sure if the travellers owned the field or just rented it of someone else for their couple of horses though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter T Posted October 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 No. 1. Towards the island. The W and LB form a triangle with the old road linking the two. There must be about 8 caravans parked up there. I doubt the residents in the expensive houses will be happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evil Sid Posted October 18, 2012 Report Share Posted October 18, 2012 Are these the same ones that are asking the council to provide bins for them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted October 18, 2012 Report Share Posted October 18, 2012 Yes it seems so. In one way that's sort of good though as it means they will keep it tidy and wont leave leave loads of rubish lying around when they go. Unless they empty the contents out and take the bins with them when they go of course Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter T Posted October 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2012 Strange how they haven't parked in the one further on (still the old road, after the round-about). Perhaps they don't want to upset the farmers by blocking access to the fields. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
