Travellers leave Levenmouth campsite in ‘immaculate state’

A group of Travellers have been praised for their conduct after departing a Levenmouth campsite.

The convoy of around 15 caravans and vehicles appeared on ground to the north bank of the River Leven, near the swimming pool, at the beginning of last week.

The fleet is understood to have departed the area at the beginning of the week. However, unlike similar situations where complaints are received about littering or the conduct of Travelling people, the behaviour of this group has been held up as an example to others.

Peter Farrell, travelling persons site manager with Fife Council, said: “Went out to the site on Monday and found the area had been left in an immaculate state, with all the rubbish bagged up and left to one side.

“The manager of the leisure centre was very pleased with the way the group had left things. They had made full use of the pool while they were camped and were polite and courteous to pool staff, with no problems at all.

“Fife Council is encouraged by the behaviour and cooperation shown by this Travelling group.”
