New Traveller Site in Tolworth
12 years 32 weeks ago

There is a plan to alter the "playing field" status of Tolworth Girls' School's playing field to "residential" (search the RBK site for "Gleeson" and "Land at Tolworth Girls School" - site is down at the moment so apologies, I cannot provide the link).

My neighbours tell me that "residential" means a new Traveller Site alongside Swallow Park. Does anyone have more details? The governers of Tolworth Girls School are the ones to harangue over this because if they refuse to sell their land for that purpose then (presumably) the scheme cannot go ahead.
