HAVING read the article Been and Gone in Saturday’s Argus about travellers setting up near Matalan at Spytty, perhaps it was the same people who moved on to the car park at Christchurch on Friday lunchtime. My niece was visiting from Telford and took her two-year-old granddaughter for a picnic. Travellers arrived and told her and another family that if they didn’t move, they would be blocked in. Both phoned the police who didn’t seem concerned. So, are these people allowed to intimidate others and get away with it? This sort of thing doesn’t give a very good impression of Newport and something should be done about it.
