Traveller Alerts
From time to time the FVRA receives alerts from monitoring bodies on the movement of travellers in and around Sussex. Posted: 28 February 2012 Sussex Police are aware that a group of Travellers have arrived in the Adur and Worthing area. They are currently at Lancing Industrial Estate and have been spoken to by officers. Could you please be alert to any groups arriving at vulnerable sites and contact Sussex Police on '101' if necessary. Issued on behalf of PC Olivia Crane, Traveller Liaison Officer Posted: Thursday, 14 July 2011 2.53pm Travellers have set up camp at Hill Barn Recreation Ground. This is a large group of travellers. Carol Matthews, Senior Appeals Officer E-mail: carol.matthews@adur-worthing.gov.uk Telephone: 01903 221 476 Worthing Borough Council Travellers Tel: 01903 821 992 Police Emergency Tel: 0845 607 0999 unless witnessing criminal damage or risk of personal injury call 999 PREVIOUS ALERTS Posted: Wednesday, 24 June 2011 10.14am We have just been made aware of travellers on-site at Hazelwood Trading Estate, Dominion Road, Worthing. Please be alert as other travellers are looking for sites. Posted: Wednesday, 18 May 2011 1.29pm We have been advised that travellers are at Lyons Farm Estate, Worthing. All our patrols are stepped up. West Sussex County Council has been informed and Legal Services. Posted: Thursday, 28 April 2011 12.14pm We have been advised by Sussex Police that a group of travellers has pitched up at the Regis Car Park in Bognor Regis adjacent to the Town Hall. We believe there are four motor homes and two touring caravans. Officers from Environmental Health will be visiting this morning to assess the situation and complete welfare checks. Due to the Bank Holiday weekend it is likely that the Council will be unable to move them on lawfully until next week. Although of course the officers will try to persuade the travellers to move off before next week, it is also likely that the travellers will remain until after the Bank Holiday as they will know that the Courts will be shut over this period. Worthing Borough Council; and Adur District Council will have officers checking all land. Posted: Tuesday, 26 April 4.29pm Just to keep you updated the Height Barrier at Storrington Rise will be installed on Wednesday 27th April 2011. If anything changes I will keep you informed. Posted: Friday, 8 April 2011 11.38am The New Age Travellers are based up on the old recycling site at Hazelwick Lane, Sompting. This piece of land is owned By WSCC and they went to court on Monday 4 April 2011. It was decided by the Judge it would have to go for full hearing in approx 8 weeks (date and time to be arranged). Will keep you fully updated. At this moment in time we believe there are about 25+ caravans which have blocked themselves in on the site so WSCC cannot do any visits at this present time. I have contacted the suppliers for the Height Barrier at Storrington Rise - hopefully this should be installed in approx 2/3 weeks. Will keep you fully updated. If you see any invaders, please call the emergency telephone number: 01903 821 992. Posted: Friday, 1 April 2011 4.04pm We have been advised up to 30 vehicles will be looking for a new site. West Sussex County Council will be going to court on Monday. Could Findon Valley residents be vigilant at all times?
