May I thank every Woodingdean resident who helped us, three ward councillors, in our push to rid Happy Valley Park of the unwelcome travellers who arrived there on Thursday last.

Also, thanks to the police for their prompt attention to serving the section 61 ordering them off the park within the 24-hours deadline. Also the Brighton and Hove City Council officer who had handled the council's side of the proceedings, not forgetting Molly, Eddie and Jenny, who cleaned up the rubbish left by the travellers.
