Travellers Cause Chaos in South West Seaside Town

Locals in a popular seaside town in the South West are facing chaos as Travellers have 'taken over' the area. Multiple caravans on the seafront lawns in Burnham-on-Sea have caused significant anxiety and issues. The Travellers' presence on the coastal resort has sparked worry among locals and tourists visiting for the summer.

Reports have emerged of in-fighting, rubbish dumping, and even dirty nappies being thrown into the sea. The delay in removing them has drawn criticism from local MP Ashley Fox, who expressed concern over Somerset Council's handling of the situation.

Despite efforts to initiate legal proceedings, around 15 vehicles remain parked on the lawns near the Sailing Club. Another group of around 10 caravans and vehicles has also set up camp in Priory Gardens.

Residents in the area have voiced frustration over the recurring issue, highlighting concerns about rubbish, human waste, and safety hazards posed by the Travellers. The situation has led to tensions among the community and calls for swifter action from the authorities.
