Traveller encampment arrives at Northampton park for the second time in two months

Around eight cars towing caravans arrived at the Racecourse park yesterday morning.

It has only been six weeks since an encampment was last given orders to leave the Northampton Borough Council owned park.

On that occasion, eight caravans were stationed opposite the University of Northampton’s Avenue Campus.

Eyewitnesses have also reported a traveller encampment in the Grange Park area of Northampton over the weekend.
