Traveller’s Make upgrade Move to Alver Country Park in Gosport

Travellers have upgraded from the DC Leisure Centre complex in Forest Road to Alver Country Park on Grange Road over the weekend. The travellers have descended upon a Gosport beauty spot leaving angry families urging council chiefs to kick them off. Up to 20 caravans were still illegally occupying Alver Country Park this morning after first entering the site at on Friday evening with some moving onto the site over the weekend.
