CONCERNED parents claim travellers have dumped dirty toilet paper in Pitmaston Park, Worcester.

But one of the travellers at the park claims the ‘wild guys’ have left and called on the council to provide some bins for them.

Worcestershire County Council served a notice to the travellers today requiring them to move on by 4pm tomorrow (September 14).

Travellers moved into the park on Sunday evening, angering local people who had thought a repeat of last year’s occupation would be prevented.

They feared travellers would leave rubbish in the park as they did when they left last year.

A 28-year-old father claims his three-year-old daughter got some of the toilet paper on her shoe.

“I can see the little kids, they are obviously chucking the bucket in the hedge. There’s mess everywhere,” he said.

“She was playing hide-and-seek and hiding behind a bush area and found loo roll on the ground.

“She came running up to us and said, ‘There’s toilet roll over there’. There was a bit on her shoe.”

A 44-year-old mother picking up her child from nearby Pitmaston Primary School said: “There was a young girl who found some toilet paper in the trees.

“They wouldn’t let a young girl in a pushchair through the gates. They are being a nuisance. We want the council to put bollards up. They should do.”

One of the travellers, a 42-year-old man, said: “It is not going to continue, they have nothing to worry about. They should bring up a couple of bins.

“We don’t use the toilets in the caravan, it’s dirty. If they bring out bins all the paper will be put in them.

“They treat us like criminals. There’s good and bad with everybody. I have nothing bad to say about the neighbours. I can understand their point.

“The wild guys have gone. Three of the guys that were here last year were here yesterday, but they have gone now.

“We are maybe going tomorrow night. In the next two days, a lot of us will be gone. We are not going to fight anybody.”

The local safer neighbourhood team say they are aware of complaints about the toilet paper being dumped.
