I have been made aware that there are travellers on Tuffley Park.

Police are aware and I have contacted the council officer who deals with matters like this.

City council colleagues in Moreland are also aware as the travellers have previously been on The Lannett.

I will update residents when I know more. In the meantime I would urge calm. There are steps that have to be taken in these circumstances which usually cannot be rushed.

The council can be contacted on heretohelp@gloucester.gov.uk, or 01452 396396.

The police can be contacted on 101, or 999 in an emergency. The PCSO for Podsmead is Suzanne Sexton who can be reached on Suzanne.Sexton@gloucestershire.pnn.police.uk

My contact details are here.
