travellers nr Taunton

[em&ed]

hi

just a quick warning that travellers have set up camp about 5 miles outside Taunton... Near the RSPCA centre some people think they have seen this group before but 1 person said they caused no trouble and someone else said they were a bit intimidating So beware and fingers cossed they will move on soon....

Hi Emned.

Do the travellers have any horses with them?

Also, could you be on the lookout in your area for a blue pickup vehicle, reg. J723 OTA, it's signwritten 'Tree Surgeon' on the side, and has a horse shoe on the front radiator grille.

The police are looking for this vehicle in connection with thefts of hay and feed, and want to speak to the occupants regarding other matters as well.

Cheers. Carol.

Hi Carol,

not sure but i'll have a look - we may be hacking past the camp tomorrow. But someone said they had seen a horse box there which is quite worrying

we rode past yesterday and saw no horses although people said there is.. maybe they're at the back of the camp... however i have to say that they look more like 'new age' travellers, if you know what i mean? not gypsy types... there is a horse box but other peeps have said they think they are actually living in it! i was having a good nosy and two guys were sat outside watching tv, they looked up as we passed so i gave them a nod and they waved back. then me and OH passed later and slowed right down as their dog was in the lane and they gave us a wave to say thanks.... so i am hoping there will be no thefts etc....

Ah good, they sound like the more decent types with nothing to hide.
