Six caravans, believed to be from Ireland, have been illegally parked in St Martin’s car park since Sunday evening. Speaking earlier today, a spokeswoman for Arun – the organisation in charge of maintaining the site – said: “The council is aware of the situation, Arun officers visited the site this morning and the legal process has been started for their removal.” However, she added that the travellers have indicated that they would be leaving at some point tomorrow (Tuesday, January 29). Arun District Council has provided the encampment with rubbish bags after travellers asked the organisation for some. It is also leaving the public toilets open overnight. *We would like to know what your thoughts are on travellers in the area.
