A traveller who comes to Nottingham every year has praised the city saying it 'is the richest in the country, with the best paid jobs'. Thomas Stephen, 27, is one of the roughly 30 families who arrived in Highfields Park on University Boulevard at the start of the week.
When Nottinghamshire Live visited it was a glorious morning on the field where dozens of caravans were parked near the lake. Mr Stephen, who has been married only for two years, was in the middle of doing his morning routine before heading off to his job.
He poured some ice cold water in a plastic washing up bowl just outside his caravan. The same bowl was going to be used for laundry later, he added.
