Illegal encampment on Coronation Park

Posted on Wednesday 31st October 2018

Newport City Council can confirm that there is an illegal encampment on another of the city's parks, this time Coronation Park.

Travellers moved on to the site after the secured entrance was damaged. CCTV footage is being examined urgently and if the individual or individuals responsible for the damage can be identified then it will be passed to the police.

It is believed that this is the same group of travellers that were recently evicted from Black Ash Park in Lliswerry and have previously been on Coronation Park.

The latest encampment will again cause disruption to residents and sports club who use the park and the council shares their frustration at the misuse of this local facility.

We have to go through the legal procedure to have them removed and this is being done as a matter of urgency.
