Motorists arrived at a park and ride site in Nottingham to find that their vehicles had been removed to allow Goose Fair operators to set up on the site. The Forest Park and Ride closed on Sunday (September 25) at 6pm but a number of vehicles were still parked on the site.
Around 30 vehicles were relocated to the opposite end of the car park at the Forest Recreation Ground. William Percival, chairman of the Nottinghamshire Showmen's Guild, said: "The council had to remove 30 cars from the site and put them at the other end of the Forest because the car park closed at 6pm on Sunday and people still parked their cars on there.
"They took pictures before they touched them and lifted them onto the back of a wagon and took them down the other end of the Forest onto the grass area near the football pitches and parked them back up there. It was just an inconvenience to the showmen and the council. There were signs all over telling everybody it was closed. There were big signs outside the entrance.
