City on Edge as Traveller Clan Floods Portsmouth Ahead of Funeral
Security on High Alert
City Council security chiefs have been put on high alert after the first wave of a large Traveller group rolled into Portsmouth. Trouble kicked off early with a public order incident at the Tipner Park & Ride.
Travellers Move From Tipner to Milton
After causing a disturbance at Tipner, the Travellers moved on to Milton, sparking fresh concerns among local residents and officials.
More Travellers Expected
Sources at Portsmouth City Council (PCC) reveal that security guards are now posted at ten open sites across Portsea Island. Why? Because up to 70 more Traveller families are on their way.
The close-knit Traveller community is reportedly gathering in Portsmouth for the funeral of an extended family member, adding to the large convoy descending on the city.
