Traveller Festival 
The following information request was received from Rushcliffe Borough Council;
'The Council is currently working with Nottinghamshire Police and other local Councils on emerging intelligence that a large traveller festival may be about to take place in the Nottinghamshire area. The exact location remains unknown at this current time hence we would be grateful for any information that you may become aware of through your own networks about such an event or any local landowner who may have inadvertently rented a field etc. From past experience because such events are not managed through the normal channel  of a multi agency Safety Advisory Group they have the potential to cause many issues and problems for public sector agencies and local communities alike.'
Contact Rushcliffe Borough Council if you become aware of any pertinent information.
