Most of the travellers who arrived at the Downs last week and set up camp have left. There is still a small group still encamped in the area, but they are expected to move on the next couple of days.
Robert Westlake, chair of Friends of The Downs and Avon Gorge said that most of the group had left the area by this morning (June 27). He said: “The Downs operational team have confirmed the travellers have been removed from The Downs. However a small, seemingly separate group, remain but are expected to be gone in the next couple of days.”
Residents of The Downs reported around 15 caravans arriving last week and setting up camp in the popular area last week. A GRT (Gypsy, Roma Traveller) team visited.
