A group of travellers has set up camp with 30 caravans in a school's playing field, forcing hundreds of children to stay at home.

Education bosses immediately set up an exclusion zone at Smithills School, Bolton, after the extraordinary convoy moved in on Sunday evening.

Around 300 Year 8 pupils have been told to work from home because their classrooms are next to the playing fields and it was feared the travellers' presence could cause disruption to classes.

Police were due to speak to the group last night to inform them that trespass, which is normally a civil offence, is elevated to a criminal offence when it is carried out on a school premises and causes disruption.

This would give the police the power of arrest if the travellers refused to move on.

Sgt John Nicol, of the Bolton West Neighbourhood Policing Team, said: 'We take this very seriously and are taking positive action to ensure the smooth running of the school.'

The police action would override a move by Bolton Council officers who were due to visit the travellers yesterday to give them a direction to leave the land.

The direction gives them 24 hours to leave. If they do not, the council can apply for a summons from magistrates.

The travellers were given notice to leave a local park by Bolton Council after the caravans appeared near the main entrance, off Moss Bank Way, on Monday night.

The travellers' latest move has caused concern among local residents.

One said: 'I saw all the caravans through the trees when I do not understand it. The school always has football and cricket matches on. What are they doing with all those vehicles there?

'I know they come to Moss Bank Park quite often, but not on a school field.'

Travelers, Gypsies, Bible Adherents or ‘Wandering Lost Tribes’; these sojourners, who ever they may be, are one of the symptom of the bigger globalist agenda.

Yeah, maybe, but Travelers have likely been around for 20 and 30 generations. But wow, one thing you sure got right, and I never thought of it that way --

As the ‘one world order’ comes closer & closer to fruition, this phenomenon will become more widespread. By living ‘off grid’ they show contempt for the way things have progressed politically.

You know, they ARE off the grid. In our apartment complex, the landlady told me of one family, a mom and dad with three or four young kids, lived there for three or four months and it must have gotten hot for them, because in one *night* they picked up and disappeared with everything they needed. Poof. They know how to slip away from the law very well.

And the Travelers clans and groupings have same first and last names to throw off the authorities. They have plenty of nicknames for each other

A clan may have three, four, five, six first names and last names that the males get to be named by. Same for females. A clan might have six Tom Williamsons

The Scottish Williamsons have been the scourge of Florida and I believe that down here they are all, Scottish and Irish, called Terible Williamsons.
