New defences have been introduced at a Castle Bromwich beauty spot after Travellers pitched up in May leaving the Parish Council with a £7000 bill.
The bulk of the work to strengthen the site and stop unauthorised access is now complete - although Castle Bromwich Parish Council bosses said they were still considering new measures and keeping the site under review.

Irish Travellers have described being banned from pubs, restaurants and holiday parks across the UK, as part of a devastating “campaign of discrimination” that is excluding them from public life.
The revelation this month by the i Paper that Pontins drew up a list of surnames designed to keep Irish Travellers out has been described as a “Me Too” moment by campaigners. They say it is just the tip of the iceberg of the racism faced by the community and expect more whistleblowers to come forward.
Debby Kennett, CEO of London Gypsies and Travellers, said: “This has been an important “Me Too” moment for the Traveller community. The exposure of Pontins’ blacklisting of Irish Travellers has resonated hugely with many people’s experiences of discrimination. It has made plain the racism that Gypsies and Travellers routinely face, but which has become so normalised that it is barely remarked on.”
