Travellers in Palmer Park, Reading
Discussion
Hallo PH,
Does anyone know anything about the recent takeover of most of the green area around the Palmer Park stadium in Reading? I have just moved back to the area and was surprised to see a Bentley towing a caravan down Wokingham road, into the car park area and then onto the grass. They've churned up the turf and a lot of plastic and paper rubbish is blowing around.... ;-(
Just wondering if anyone knows if they're there legally or maybe if they're going to move off anytime soon???

Hell no are they allowed to be there! Council where meant to have started evicting them at the start of last week but when I went past on Thursday there were more there.
Its amazing what vehicles you can get when you pay no rent, income tax or fines (well, the council never bother to fine them anyway) & get your 'home' from a motorway service station whilst the 'previous owners' are inside getting something to eat.

Just came home from work, living 2 minutes from Palmer - had a 
in a manky white van try and get through a single lane passing place and rage at me when I got through first - they've got to find a way to fine these imbeciles, heavily, or like someone just said - confiscate their cars until they're providing a proof of income.

They've all pitched up in the centre of Jennetts Park, Bracknell. So far they've run one lady dog walker over while driving over the footpaths and play areas...
Bentleys are here with the Porsches.
Looks like you're right, they've left bags of rubbish on the grass and it's a state. Jennetts Park is now ground zero. Wonder how they'd feel if someone dumped rubbish in their homes. :/Bentleys are here with the Porsches.
It makes me laugh, the failings of Reading Borough Council. When I was a student at the uni, I got fined when RBC failed to collect our waste for a few weeks. I put some envelopes in the bin in Palmer Park. Someone actually fished my litter out, photo & fined me for it. Now look at the state of the park! Hope that same pr!ck is having to sort out this mess!

They arrived last month by my work in Sidcup. These were Irish plates with a few Macans bentleys etc. The Police went in after a month with about 50 officers from Bromley and surrounding areas with a few Armed cops too all with the helicopter flying above.
Before they left they were charging the locals to dump there rubbish in the site they were in.
