A GROUP of travellers have pitched up on a field next to a new housing estate in Bathpool near Taunton.
The County Gazette has been contacted by nearby residents who say at least half a dozen caravans, vans and horses arrived at the Persimmon/Redrow estate shortly before 8pm last night.
One woman who lives on the estate said she had contacted the police.
She added: "A group of children were playing on the grass yesterday and when they left, the travellers moved on.
"This is the first time they have been up to this estate. I don't know how long they're going to stay."
