It caused a lot of issues
A Nottinghamshire school says it has taken action against a group of travellers who illegally accessed their field. Chilwell School says an unknown person broke the access gate's padlock and so legal action was taken to remove them from the site.
Chilwell School said in a statement: "We are aware that there have been a number of social media posts about an encampment on Chilwell School field and concern and opinions in the community. On Wednesday the school became aware that a group of vehicles had gained access to the field after the access gate had been compromised by the padlock being broken by persons unknown.
"The school remains committed to ensuring that we are a community service provider and we do not want to seal off access to our extensive playing fields. We know that many community groups enjoy access to the grounds through our partnership with Liberty Leisure who manage our sports facilities in the evenings and weekends.
"This also means that unfortunately we often have an issue with dogs and dog faeces on our football pitches and long jump area and we would continue to ask dog owners to keep animals to the public footpaths. The events of the past few days have taken up staff time and finances which have been diverted from our core purpose of educating our children.
