A community has blamed travellers for 'taking over' a park in Beeston after caravans pitched on a beauty spot. When Nottinghamshire Live visited the Dovecote Lane Recreation Ground, some Irish travellers were sat outside making most of the weather.
Around 16 caravans and other vehicles were parked in the park, and it is believed they arrived on the site on Thursday evening (July 14). Some women left their caravans to find some shade under the trees in the park.
One of them said "it is hard to cope" with the heat inside the caravan, and called for cooling fans to be brought to them. Neighbours in the area, however, said they felt "intimidated" by the group.
