the people in the park over the weekend were not travellers but the handycapped artists, who go around the country showing and making crafts , talking today to some locals who bring thier kids to the park they did not bring the kids over the weekend because, they like me thought they were travellers,the story bellow is excactly what the artists wanted,, why when there is all this bad publicity on the travellers, even a story on the newtown man held by the travellers as a slave. talking to the Mayor of Newtown in the Robert Owen museum at 2.00 she was under the impression the police moved them on knew nothing of a craft display in the park.
