Have been taken for a walk by my dog tonight through the Petre Road industrial estate (near Dunkenhalgh Way but up Blackburn Road a bit),when we got to Walmsley Court (right hand side just past N.H.S. building). We were met by caravans, white pickup trucks, lights, and running generators. They are parked up in the car parking spaces for the businesses there.

I have made the assumption that they are travelers, but I was not wearing the correct underwear to go any closer to get a better look or a caravan count but it was ten plus at a guess plus vehicles.

Has anyone got anymore information as to how long they have been there, the other businesses further round the estate had taken the precaution of blocking off car parks with vehicles.
