Residents fed up with the traveler invasions have dug a 4ft-deep trench around a park to stop them setting up camp again. An excavator has been used to dig the trench at Oakwood Park in Derby. Community leaders also asked some residents to stand guard at the entrance of the park in case travelers try to break onto the land.
Two months ago travelers left rubbish at the park after 30 of them arrived last August. Now residents are taking action to prevent them from returning. “Consequently we have had to take action, city council has supported us. The trench has been built, so they can't come back this way and bollards have been put at the other entrances, so they cannot come back. Unfortunately we know these travelers have ways and means to get back and I can't guarantee they won't be back but it'll be difficult for them.” Resident Donna Ward said, “These people have paid about ￡350,000 for their houses and they have to look upon people who pay nothing at all and disturb their lives.”
Another resident added, “It's not a happy situation to have to build a trench and we've not had a problem here for 35 years, but it's made residents realize that these people have no consideration for anyone. Last August the travelers moved onto Oakwood Park and left a trail of rubbish. When they left we thought that might be the end of it.? But when they took the place over again earlier this year we knew that the park was obviously seen as an easy park to stay. The sad fact is that this is a war. And I suppose a trench is symbolic of the residents fighting back. The police are powerless to stop travelers so I'm grateful the council has taken some direct action.”
