Two fulltimers, one a key worker, getting abuse and harrassment being mistaken for tourists.

Coronavirus: 'I'm scared I'll return to find my home burnt out'

Support worker Mimi Gulliford said she has been verbally abused for living in her minibus.

Maybe a police sign is required,

KEY WORKER SELF ISOLATING, DO NOT HARASS!

There are a couple of MCC sites there perhaps they could contact them as I understand the MCC is allowing full timers to use their sites

I wonder if it's a bit unrealistic expcting to full-time in a car park at the moment and have no hassle. I wonder if the care workers employer would let her park there.

I know the location well.

There are two heath centres in the town, one at each end of that car park, so she is in the logical place as she can walk to work, close to the public loos, and has the high street on her doorstep.

There are sites in the area that would take a full timer (as they are not getting the normal holiday traffic) but all of them would be a drive away.

To have 4 Police cars at the same time is amazing, that must have been every working patrol car within 50 miles !
I can see the issue, whilst no one minds a couple of people there during lock down, they need to ensure that it does not become a habit, given the number of tourists that pass through during a normal summer.

This seems to be a common situation , its time a few of these Zealots were charged with public order offenses
and given prominence on the mainstream media .

Put a couple of police aware stickers on them.

Keep in mind that for many people the terms Gypsy, Roma, Traveller and Full Timer are totally interchangeable.

The call to the police no doubt went along the lines of ;

"A family of Itinerant's have moved into the car park.
They are all out to steal anything that is not bolted down and once the first lot have turned up anther 30 vans will arrive"

(From the photos it looks like at least 3 vans are there)

They also said the car park was on the camel trail so would be a likely spot for any holiday-makers.
