    Travellers move 1/2 mile to new Marsh Barton site

    Cleaners have been spotted outside previous site.

    A group of around 5 caravans which were blocking a private car park outside Hillfields House in Marsh Barton have moved around 1/2 a mile to another area of the Industrial Estate

    They arrived in Marsh Barton on Monday afternoon (18th March) and after being evicted by Landlords, it's thought they left in the early hours of this morning. At around 0930 cleaners were seen picking up rubbish at the car park. 

    Staff arriving at the Matford Business Park this morning (Thursday 21st March) then found their businesses blocked or partially blocked by the caravans. 

    It's understood the travellers had a disagreement with a business there over work done to a van. 

    Nigel Wills of enforcement officers Devon Investigation Ltd says they have been served with an eviction notice and need to leave by 0900 tomorrow (Friday 22nd March). If they don't, bailiffs will be sent in.
