Description

Parents accuse Gypsies (also referred to as Travellers in this report, so ethnic identity unclear) who stopped on a Chigwell school playing field of threatening the children, causing classes to be cancelled, and leaving rubbish behind after they moved on. Security man Alan Crossland takes a more relaxed view of the situation. Alison Hodgkins reports.
