A group of travellers have moved on after setting up a camp outside a school in Newport. The travellers and caravans arrived directly outside Llanwern High School at Hartridge Farm Road in Newport on Tuesday and were still there on Wednesday morning.
Numerous static caravans and other vehicles had been pictured at the site on Wednesday, alongside gas bottles and barbeques. However, on Thursday morning it was confirmed that the group had left the unauthorised camp.
Pupils at the school had been allowed to leave early on Tuesday, with a spokesperson confirming on social media that they had been directed off site via a rear exit after a small fire was started at the front gate.
