| Please be advised that the weekly beat report from Romsey rural has a Travellers update. There has been two reports of travellers in the Romsey area - an encampment of two caravans in Knatchball Close, (have now moved on) and a further report of two caravans in the Premier Way Industrial site. Further reports of travellers in the Test Valley area are 20 caravans in Andover with another four caravans recently arriving in a location also in Andover. RESIDENTS: Please therefore be vigilant. Keep valuables out of site and garden machinery under lock and key at all time when not in use. Keep your garage or shed doors closed when not in use and if they have windows, consider covering them with newspaper or old dust sheets etc. to prevent prying eyes. FARMERS: Please be aware. It is strongly advised that you keep gates locked to fields and ideally patrol your land in cooperation with your farming colleagues to prevent occupation. It is wise to make sure that your Farm watch posters are on prominent display as it shows you are alert. Please also try and keep buildings secure as well as the more easily moveable workshop items. Do not leave keys in unattended agricultural vehicles or machinery (especially smaller items like quad bikes). If you see any suspicious activity please report it to 101 or if criminal activity is taking place (or an emergency) 999
