🚨 Tensions are running high in Bridgend as a group of Travellers have set up an illegal encampment on the Litchard playing fields! 🚐🏕️
The local council served an ‘eviction-style’ notice, but the Travellers are standing their ground, refusing to leave. This unexpected takeover has left the community frustrated, and local football team Litchard FC without their beloved pitches. ⚽
Councillor Martin Williams shared a shocking encounter at the site, describing a moment when he faced abusive and threatening behaviour while trying to assess the situation. It’s not just him – residents have also reported verbal abuse. 😟
The council is pushing forward with legal action and hopes to get High Court enforcement officers on the scene after a hearing at Cardiff Magistrates’ Court.🔍⚖️
Looks like the weekend will see little change until this legal process unfolds. In the meantime, Bridgend Council and South Wales Police are working together to monitor the situation.
Stay tuned for more updates as we follow this developing story! 🔄
